current/duration time of html5 video?

I need a way of getting the total time length of the video and the current time with jquery and displaying it in a couple of <div> tags.

<div id="current">0:00</div>
<div id="duration">0:00</div>

I've been searching all day and I know how to get them I just can't display them. #jquerynoob

Solution 1:

HTML:

<video
    id="video-active"
    class="video-active"
    width="640"
    height="390"
    controls="controls">
    <source src="myvideo.mp4" type="video/mp4">
</video>
<div id="current">0:00</div>
<div id="duration">0:00</div>

JavaScript:

$(document).ready(function(){
  $("#video-active").on(
    "timeupdate", 
    function(event){
      onTrackedVideoFrame(this.currentTime, this.duration);
    });
});

function onTrackedVideoFrame(currentTime, duration){
    $("#current").text(currentTime); //Change #current to currentTime
    $("#duration").text(duration)
}

Notes:

Every 15 to 250ms, or whenever the MediaController's media controller position changes, whichever happens least often, the user agent must queue a task to fire a simple event named timeupdate at the MediaController.

Solution 2:

This page might help you out. Everything you need to know about HTML5 video and audio

var video = document.createElement('video');
var curtime = video.currentTime;

If you already have the video element, .currentTime should work. If you need more details, that webpage should be able to help.

HTML

<div id="video_container">
<video poster="http://media.w3.org/2010/05/sintel/poster.png" preload="none" controls="" id="video" tabindex="0">
    <source type="video/mp4" src="http://media.w3.org/2010/05/sintel/trailer.mp4" id="mp4"></source>
    <source type="video/webm" src="http://media.w3.org/2010/05/sintel/trailer.webm" id="webm"></source>
    <source type="video/ogg" src="http://media.w3.org/2010/05/sintel/trailer.ogv" id="ogv"></source>
    <p>Your user agent does not support the HTML5 Video element.</p>
</video>
</div>

<div>Current Time : <span  id="currentTime">0</span></div>
<div>Total time : <span id="totalTime">0</span></div>

JS

$(function(){
$('#currentTime').html($('#video_container').find('video').get(0).load());
$('#currentTime').html($('#video_container').find('video').get(0).play());
})
setInterval(function(){
$('#currentTime').html($('#video_container').find('video').get(0).currentTime);
$('#totalTime').html($('#video_container').find('video').get(0).duration);    
},500)
