I have an iframe with a video, for example:
Unless your website also has the host, protocol and port of http://player.vimeo.com
, you can not run any code on the iframe
's document
.
Sure. You can use VideoJS. You may have a hard time getting control of the iFrame as you put it. You can embed various video hosting sites' video with VideoJS, supposedly.
<script>
VideoJS.DOMReady(function() {
var player = VideoJS.setup("current_video");
player.play();
player.currentTime(666);
});
</script>

That iframe will give you trouble, however in general you can do this without a library.
// get the video element
let video = document.getElementsByTagName('video')[0]
// jump it to a specific time
video.currentTime = 10 // the number of seconds you want it to be at
Unfortunately, not always. There is no single solution to seek a time in a Flash video if you don't know what the source of the video is.
If you ever encounter HTML5 video, you can try this: Start HTML5 video at a particular position when loading?
