I am trying to get the state (playing,paused,stopped) from an embedded media player for WMV. Anyone know if you can capture that using Javascript?

what fucking year is it? Did i get trapped in some backwards time warp again?

And I would think you could pull states from the DOM, but that would depend on how the embed was laid in place.

0 Undefined Windows Media Player is in an undefined state.
1 Stopped Playback of the current media item is stopped.
2 Paused Playback of the current media item is paused. When a media item is paused, resuming playback begins from the same location.
3 Playing The current media item is playing.
4 ScanForward The current media item is fast forwarding.
5 ScanReverse The current media item is fast rewinding.
6 Buffering The current media item is getting additional data from the server.
7 Waiting Connection is established, but the server is not sending data. Waiting for session to begin.
8 MediaEnded Media item has completed playback.
9 Transitioning Preparing new media item.
10 Ready Ready to begin playing.
11 Reconnecting Reconnecting to stream.

use document.player.playState to retrieve current value
