JavaScript interaction with hosting on h5p.test.schulcloud-thueringen.de

Hello, I am developing a system that displays videos hosted on Vimeo, YouTube, and H5P (where there will be interactions with the video). With YouTube and Vimeo, I can use an iframe to obtain data such as the watched time of the video and whether it is playing or paused. With H5P, when it is hosted on h5p.test.schulcloud-thueringen.de, is it possible to obtain this information?

When using an iframe, I do not have access to the H5P object, and therefore I do not have access to the APIs to retrieve this data.

 

In my case, how can I obtain this data when the content is hosted on h5p.test.schulcloud-thueringen.de and the video and interactions are running inside an iframe?

Cheers,

  1. You'll not be able to get information from any remote iframe, because that would be a security / privacy loophole. That's why browsers do not allow that.
  2. h5p.test.schulcloud-thueringen.de is not meant to store your content, but to test things only. Host H5P yourself, and you can communicate with H5P.Video to retrieve information or control behavior.
