the currentTime() method of the videojs plugin doesn't work












0















I am using the Videojs plugin as a video player; and I want when I restart the player for the second time; to start playing the video from the position where I was before leaving the player.



<div id="playerDiv">

      <video id="my_video_1" class="video-js vjs-default-skin"  controls preload="none">

            <source src="http://xxxxxx/stepupallin_en_fr_ts.mpg"  type='video/mpg' id="videosrc" />

      </video>

 </div>


to play the video i used:



$('#playerDiv').append('<video id="my_video_1" class="video-js vjs-default-skin"  controls preload="none" ><source src="http://xxxx/stepupallin_en_fr_ts.mpg" type="video/mpg"></video>');

    player = videojs("my_video_1"); 

    player.play();


to leave the player I used:
whereYouAt = player.currentTime();//to get the position of the video befor
//leave it
var currentTime = localStorage.currentTime;
localStorage.currentTime = whereYouAt;
player.dispose();



when I play the video for the seconde time:



player.currentTime(localStorage.currentTime);


but i don't know why it doesn't work



I also tried to use offset but it doesn't work:



player.offset({

    start: localStorage.currentTime,

    end: localStorage.duration,

    restart_beginning: false 

});


all what i want is to play videojs from a given time






javascript jquery video.js

          player.currentTime(localStorage.currentTime); cant work because values in localStorage are stored as string. Use player.currentTime(parseFloat(localStorage.currentTime)); instead.
