HTMLMediaElement: loadeddata event

The loadeddata event is fired when the frame at the current playback position of the media has finished loading; often the first frame.

Syntax

Use the event name in methods like addEventListener(), or set an event handler property.

addEventListener("loadeddata", (event) => {});

onloadeddata = (event) => {};

Event type

A generic Event.

Examples

These examples add an event listener for the HTMLMediaElement's loadeddata event, then post a message when that event handler has reacted to the event firing.

Using addEventListener():

const video = document.querySelector("video");

video.addEventListener("loadeddata", (event) => {
  console.log(
    "Yay! The readyState just increased to  " +
      "HAVE_CURRENT_DATA or greater for the first time.",
  );
});

Using the onloadeddata event handler property:

const video = document.querySelector("video");

video.onloadeddata = (event) => {
  console.log(
    "Yay! The readyState just increased to  " +
      "HAVE_CURRENT_DATA or greater for the first time.",
  );
};
