Seek programatically about asciinema-player HOT 5 CLOSED

currentTime property has been now added to the DOM element: https://github.com/asciinema/asciinema-player#controlling-the-player-programmatically
It will be part of the next release.

You could try to dispatch similar click event to the progress bar element, which calculates the seek position from event's mouse position. Not sure how hard it would be though.

There's a plan for official programmatic control API, it's most probably be based on the work in #18.

Thanks. I thought of that and might give it a try.

Just for anyone else who tries it: It appears that it's listening for mousedown, not click. Also, I believe the element with the listener is span.bar.

Any guess as to whether this is likely to be done in the near future? If you think it will be, I'll probably just wait. Otherwise I may implement something, but it'll be very hackish. If I do I may publish it as asciinema-player-api-shim or something. But it'll be next to worthless when a better API comes out, so if you think it may happen soon, I can wait.

I see your point. I can't really give any estimate on when it may be ready. I have a feeling this may not be sooner than in couple of months so if you need it working now then you can try "the hacky way" (I think it may not be that much of work).

I'm also happy to accept a PR with the proper controlling API (after some high level discussion of the API surface and how I see it exposed in the mentioned HTML5 element).

OK, thanks, makes sense.
I'd love to contribute but I have zero knowledge of ClojureScript (and too busy/lazy to learn it at this time).
If I get something working I'll let you know.
