Question: How to detect video is playing or paused about nativescript-videoplayer

[andresilva-cc]

I don't think there's a way to do this. I'm currently saving the state of the video to a variable so I can control it.

Late response but hope this might help someone.

There is not a property which is built into the plugin stating if a video is playing or paused. But as @andresilva-cc suggest, you can make such a property yourself. Then set it based on the following callback functions:

This is the pure JS version:

const videoPlayer = page.getViewById('YourVideoPlayerID');
videoPlayer.on('playbackStartEvent', args => {
    // Your property here
});

videoPlayer.on('pausedEvent', args => {
  // Your property here
});
