Video player close event about tvdml HOT 3 CLOSED

Unfortunately, menu-button-press can only detect navigation between documents (screens) and player is always displayed as an overlay on the same screen.

However, we can detect when the player is dismissed with its own events.

const player = new Player();

player.playlist = new Playlist();
player.playlist.push(mediaItem);

player.addEventListener('stateDidChange', event => {
    if (event.state === 'end') {
        handlePlayerClosure();
    }
});

player.play();

More info about available events can be found in the TVJS documentation

Okay, thank you for the detailed answer. I have already integrated state change listener but it never got called when I closed the player with a menu button. I guess I have to do add some logic in the document from which the player gets opened.

You're welcome. I'll close the issue, but feel free to ask questions if you have other problems 👍
