Handlers to check when file buffering

Post by dbailey » Thu Oct 03, 2013 3:45 pm

Hi All,

I'm using the movie player to play a movie file that is stored on a web server. Since building the app and testing on another machine I notice the video playback takes a while before it starts to play, in which time the user has no idea if the app is still working.

Is there a way to inform the user that the video is buffering and playback will commence shortly?, how can I check the state of the player?

Thanks

Simon

Check out currentTime in the dictionary.
that should help you.
