getSeekableMaximumPosition method

Description

getSeekableMaximumPosition is a method allowing to obtain the maximum playlist position in seconds currently known to be seekable.

For live contents, that value is re-synchronized when Media Playlists are updated and does not progress linearly between those updates.

For a linearly progressing application-facing position, use getMaximumPosition instead.

If no content is currently loaded, getSeekableMaximumPosition will return undefined.

About "playlist time"

As written above, the returned time is in playlist time in seconds.

If you wish to convert between media time and playlist time, you may obtain the offset between the two through the getMediaOffset method. If you wish to convert that playlist time into a JavaScript Date when the content timeline is based on EXT-X-PROGRAM-DATE-TIME, you may call the positionToDate method.

Syntax

const maximumPosition = player.getSeekableMaximumPosition();

• return value:

number|undefined: The maximum currently known seekable position, in playlist time in seconds. undefined if no content is currently loaded.
