Just came across this question and although it is a little old I am posting this for future readers (who; like me, probably come from Google).
So as of today this is the event list for html5 media (according to W3C):
- onabort : Script to be run on abort
- oncanplay : Script to be run when a file is ready to start playing (when it has buffered enough to begin)
- oncanplaythrough : Script to be run when a file can be played all the way to the end without pausing for buffering
- ondurationchange : Script to be run when the length of the media changes
- onemptied : Script to be run when something bad happens and the file is suddenly unavailable (like unexpectedly disconnects)
- onended : Script to be run when the media has reach the end (a useful event for messages like “thanks for listening”)
- onerror : Script to be run when an error occurs when the file is being loaded
- onloadeddata : Script to be run when media data is loaded
- onloadedmetadata : Script to be run when meta data (like dimensions and duration) are loaded
- onloadstart : Script to be run just as the file begins to load before anything is actually loaded
- onpause : Script to be run when the media is paused either by the user or programmatically
- onplay : Script to be run when the media is ready to start playing
- onplaying : Script to be run when the media actually has started playing
- onprogress : Script to be run when the browser is in the process of getting the media data
- onratechange : Script to be run each time the playback rate changes (like when a user switches to a slow motion or fast forward mode)
- onreadystatechange : Script to be run each time the ready state changes (the ready state tracks the state of the media data)
- onseeked : Script to be run when the seeking attribute is set to false indicating that seeking has ended
- onseeking : Script to be run when the seeking attribute is set to true indicating that seeking is active
- onstalled : Script to be run when the browser is unable to fetch the media data for whatever reason
- onsuspend : Script to be run when fetching the media data is stopped before it is completely loaded for whatever reason
- ontimeupdate : Script to be run when the playing position has changed (like when the user fast forwards to a different point in the media)
- onvolumechange : Script to be run each time the volume is changed which (includes setting the volume to “mute”)
- onwaiting : Script to be run when the media has paused but is expected to resume (like when the media pauses to buffer more data).
Dantz was looking for oncanplaythrough.
