Hi everybody!

I'm just trying to know how can i determine if a video/audio loading is complete. I red the HTML5 Draft but i did not find how.

Thanks!

Have you tried looking at when media.initialTime gets set? It will return a zero if the initial playback position is still unknown.

It might never be complete. The browser may avoid downloading the entire media resource in order to not fill up all available memory, and may evict past media data from the cache (for the same reason).

There was at first a 'load' event for media elements, but it was removed for the above reasons.

You can use the .buffered attribute to see which ranges of the media are buffered.
