How to automatically display current video title?

[kapildhingra]

I want that whenever a new video starts in control auto pilot, video title should be automatically displayed to users.

Any solution for this issue?

I would also be interested on this. But as far as I've found out yet, it is not possible.

Ironically the old playerV2.js embed did exactly that... But they retired it for one that doesn't do any of that really cool stuff. If you add /old to the end of your link it will display whats playing when user first tunes in. If you want to display it each time the title changes you will have to do it on your own page using some java coding and the JSplayer.swf to scrape clip details. Don't you wish you didn't have to load old versions of the site to get access to a decent player?

I have old version on my site. But I don't know how to extract details of clip. Could you give me some details how to do?

Thanks!

Basically you add a function to your javascript and then use setInterval to update a divs inner html. JS example using alert box:

function livestreamPlayerCallback(event) {
if (event == 'ready') {
player.setDevKey('****');
player.setChannel('****');
player.startPlayback();
}
if (event == 'playbackEvent') {
if (getid!=0) {
clearInterval(getid);
}
var getid=setInterval("alertTitle()", 5000);
}
if (event == 'connectionEvent') {
player.startPlayback();
}
if (event == 'disconnectionEvent') {
if (getid!=0) {
clearInterval(getid);
}
}
}
function alertTitle() {
if (player.isOnAir() && player.getCurrentContentTitle() != 'null') {
currentTitle = player.getCurrentContentTitle();
if(player.isLive()) {
livevar = ' is playing LIVE!!!';
} else {
livevar = ' is playing.';
}
alert(currentTitle + livevar);
}
}

When you create the video, insert a graphic overlay with the title at the beginning of the video.
