Question

I am able to fire a javaScript function when ontimeupdate runs from the HTML5 video tag (I believe this runs every 250ms while the video is playing). Here is the snippet:

<video src="men-2.mp4"  ontimeupdate="createThumbs()" width="640" height="480" controls="controls" id="myVideo">

function createThumbs(){
    //Stuff is happening here...
}

The problem I have is I can’t figure out how to fire a jQuery script on this event. There is no ontimeupdate event for jQuery as far as I know. Any ideas?

Answer 1

$("#myVideo").bind('timeupdate', createThumbs);
