How to detect html5 video playing in Chrome?

  • 772

I am using a script to delay screensaver in xubuntu 12.04 while video playing.

However, the script can only detect flash player in Google Chrome. I want to add a new function to detect html5 video playing. I searched a lot but didn't find the shell command to detect html5 video process in Google Chrome.

Could anybody give me some suggestion about it？ Thanks.

    I had the same question on Ubuntu & Unix Stack Exchange site and I understood that:

    The HTML 5 "player" doesn't have any corresponding plugin and the code for it is embedded directly into the browser. So you won't see a process getting forked from Chrome when it's dealing with this type of content.

    Thanks to slm for this answer.
