Adds a marker to the timeline.
Note: Does not check for duplicates/overlaps at the specified time.
Note: This API is only available when ui is enabled.
Note: It is also recommended to call this API after playback starts as the positioning of the timeline marker depends on knowing the current seekable range. The best place to call this the first time is as soon as the first time changed event is received from TimeChanged.
Example to place timeline marker during ongoing playback:
var timelineMarkers = [
{ time: 24, title: 'Salto on the edge' },
{ time: 69, title: 'Interview - Marcus Gustafsson' },
{ time: 105, title: 'Parcour rating explained' },
{ time: 188, duration: 11, title: 'And we have a winner!', cssClasses: ['seekbar-marker-interval'] },
];
// Call this anytime during any ongoing playback
// to add all available timeline markers to the UI.
timelineMarkers.map((marker) => {
player.addTimelineMarker(marker);
});
Example to place timelineMarker for an AdBreak based off AdMarker:
// list of AdBreaks
const adBreaks = [];
// collect AdMarkers and build the list of adBreaks
player.on(MKPlayerEvent.AdMarker, (event) => {
adBreaks.push(event.adMarker);
// timeline markers cannot be added from here during ongoing plyback
// because this callback is always reported when metadata is parsed
// which means the time for this ad is in the future and outside the
// current seekable range. So for upcoming adBreaks new markers can
// only be added when the time falls within the current seekable range
// or when the next MKPlayerEvent.AdBreakStarted event is triggered.
});
// global variable
let firstTimeChangedEvent = false;
// Wait for the playback to start and the
// first time changed event is received to add timeline markers
player.on(MKPlayerEvent.TimeChanged, (event) => {
if (!firstTimeChangedEvent) {
firstTimeChangedEvent = true;
// add timeline markers
adBreakList.map((marker, index) => {
player.addTimelineMarker({time: marker.start});
});
}
});
