The played member [1] description of the media element states : > The played attribute must return a new static normalized TimeRanges > object that represents the ranges of the media resource, if any, that > the user agent has so far rendered, at the time the attribute is > evaluated. Currently implementing this member in Gecko, we are wondering the exact meaning of the 'rendered' term. If one seek in a video to a location while being in a paused state, the user agent 'renders' the frame at that location, since it is displayed on the screen. No audio (if any) is rendered, though. In that case, should we create an empty range starting and ending at the time that was seeked to ? That means creating multiple empty ranges if multiple seeks occur while being paused. Does the 'rendering' term implies that playback should occur ? This description need clarification to specify the exact behavior to adopt. Semantically, the name of the member itself ('played') seem to imply playback. Thanks, Paul. [1] : www.whatwg.org/html/#dom-media-played
