Programatically controlling the player

Here are some jQuery workarounds for controlling the player pending development of a formal API. Due to the same-origin policy, these work only with a player hosted in your web page.

Action	Coding
Start or stop the player	$(".playback-button").trigger("click")
Determine if player is playing	2 == $(".playback-button")[0].getElementsByTagName("path").length Returns true if player is playing
Fetch elapsed time	$(".time-elapsed").text()
Fetch remaining time	$(".time-remaining").text()
