html5 video wait for readystate == 4 after setting currentTime
html, html5-video, javascript, readystate, video
Solution
Ok I solved it with the event listener `seeked`.
If you change the current time it changes to `seeking` once it's finished it goes to `seeked`. The `loadedmetadata` event is also an option, but `seeked` is the fastest one.
Thanks for your help.
Problem
I'm trying to grap some images of a video that is not played. Therefore I use the HTML5 . Because I want to grab images that haven't been played, I set ``` video.currentTime = y; ``` If I now call the grap function it won't work. Because the `video.readyState` is 1 (and not 4). If I add at the beginning of the grab function an `alert();` it works. I tried to loop until `readyState == 4` with ``` while(true){ if(video.readyState == 4){ grapImage(); } } ``` but this ends up in an endless loop. So how can I wait until `readyState == 4`? Thanks
