Accessing Boxee Play/Pause Key

**Angola** · April 30th, 2012, 09:02 AM

Hello,

Im developing a html app for boxee, where i use the keyboard for navigation. i currently have access to keys like, up/down/left/../menu. today i was planning to access boxee play/pause key using the javascript api... but from what i understand from the documentation (1):

Code:

boxee.onPause - for whenever “pause” is chosen on the OSD
boxee.onPlay - for whenever “play” is chosen on the OSD

OnPause and OnPlay handlers are only available in PLAYER_MODE!!!

Is there any possibility to access this key in KEYBOARD_MODE?

Best

maybe this on is for you

boxee.apiMinVersion=7.0;
boxee.autoChoosePlayer = true;
boxee.reloadOnPageChange = true;
boxee.setMode(boxee.KEYBOARD_MODE);

boxee.onUpdateState = function() {
playerState.canPause = true;
}

boxee.onPlay = function()
{
browser.execute('jwplayer().play()');
}

boxee.onPause = function()
{
browser.execute('jwplayer().play()');
}
