Syntax

js
addEventListener("durationchange", (event) => {});
ondurationchange = (event) => {};
Event type
A generic Event.
Examples
These examples add an event listener for the HTMLMediaElement's durationchange event, then post a message when that event handler has reacted to the event firing.
Using addEventListener():
js
const video = document.querySelector("video");
video.addEventListener("durationchange", (event) => {
console.log("Not sure why, but the duration of the video has changed.");
});
Using the ondurationchange event handler property:
js
const video = document.querySelector("video");
video.ondurationchange = (event) => {
console.log("Not sure why, but the duration of the video has changed.");
};
