Hi Anders,
Sorry for the late reply, Xmas holidays wiped everything out in fat food
and champagne...
You can access the information you are looking for from the video
player. Here is a sample code snippet:
# You need a reference to the frontend, e.g. self.frontend if
# this code is in a controller.
player_controller = \
frontend.retrieve_controllers('/poblesec/video_player')[0]
player = player_controller.player
# Get the currently playing model
currently_playing = player.get_current_model()
...
# Get the current time position
time_position = player.get_position()
...
I hope this helps!
Cheers,
Olivier
