Start HTML5 video at a particular position when loading?

by

You have to wait until the browser knows the duration of the video before you can seek to a particular time. So, I think you want to wait for the ‘loadedmetadata’ event something like this:

document.getElementById('vid1').addEventListener('loadedmetadata', function() {
  this.currentTime = 50;
}, false);
