title: How can I get the current playing time from an embedded video on a webpage?
body: <p>How can I get the current playing time from an embedded video on a webpage?  Is there simply an attribute that can be obtained using JavaScript from one of the common embedded video players?  Or do I need to do a work-around like make my own pause and play buttons and keep track of time manually while feeding the play/pause commands to the video using JavaScript?  The latter is much more ugly in my opinion.  Other solutions?</p>
