Does it work correctly when user watches a video on a page?

[javatechy]

When a user is watching a video, It doesn't count that time and goes idle. Can you extend your plugin to add video time as well?

Hello @javatechy,

I think it stops the timer after a certain amount of time if the user is watching a video and does nothing else. I could expose a function that allows you to disable and enable idleTime. Then you can listen to media events and turn idle on and off, would that help?

I can give it a try. but it's not just the video where the timer is stopped, For all iFrames, it stops the timer

I thought about it and I think it is relatively easy to extend in a specific case where you can then basically send the event in your iframe via postMessage to the parent and then manually start and stop the timer of browser-interaction-time.

If you have a generic method to listen to all iframe events, feel free to share and I will try to implement it.

@meandmax There is a collection of some attempts at solutions: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2381336/detect-click-into-iframe-using-javascript

For example:

setInterval(function(){
    let elem = document.activeElement;
    if (document.hasFocus()) {
        if (elem && elem.tagName === 'IFRAME' && !browserInteractionTime.isRunning()) {
            browserInteractionTime.startTimer()
            browserInteractionTime.resetIdleTime()
        }
    } else {
        if (browserInteractionTime.isRunning()) {
            browserInteractionTime.stopTimer()
        }
    }
}, 100);

But main problem - how stop it, when real blur occur (switch tab, etc.) and ignore idle for frame (we really can't control it).

Mybe via document.hasFocus()? But what todo with idle?
