We're looking for a video solution for a client of ours. They'd like to present educational videos on the website we've built for them, but have a number of specific requirements.
Can you tell me if it's possible to place a Vimeo-hosted video on their webpage in a way that programmatically:
- Allows us to determine the length of the video
- Allows us to determine when a user has reached the end of a video
- Allows us to specify where the user will begin watching the video, while still allowing the user to rewind to a point before that
- Allows us to poll the video at 10-second increments as it plays to determine where in the length of the video the user's playhead currently is (in order to record that position to our database to be used to determine starting point for that user's future visits to the video)
- Prevents users from fast-forwarding beyond the latest point in the video they have watched up to -- including when displayed on a mobile device
- Allows going to full-screen
- Allows toggling closed captioning on/off
- Allows auto-generated closed captioning, as well as providing captions via file upload
- Allows the user to control the speed of the video, i.e. 1x, 1.5x and 2x
We've been experimenting with YouTube's YT.Player() API, but have found it cannot give us all the functionality we need.
Thanks for your help.
