Override negative remaining time in jPlayer

I was wondering if there was any way within the jPlayer plugin where you could override the remaining time text within the jp-duration div. Simply put I just want to remove the - that comes before the minutes/seconds. So instead of -03:26 I just want 03:26. Is there any pre-built functionality that would allow me to do this or would some custom script need to be written to accomplish what I'm looking to do?

JS

$(document).ready(function() {

    $("#jquery_jplayer_1").jPlayer({
        ready: function(event) {
            $(this).jPlayer("setMedia", {
                title: "Bubble",
                m4a: "http://jplayer.org/audio/mp3/Miaow-07-Bubble.mp3",
                oga: "http://jplayer.org/audio/ogg/Miaow-07-Bubble.ogg"
            });
        },
        swfPath: "http://jplayer.org/latest/dist/jplayer",
        supplied: "mp3, oga",
        wmode: "window",
        useStateClassSkin: true,
        autoBlur: false,
        smoothPlayBar: true,
        keyEnabled: true,
        remainingDuration: true,
        toggleDuration: true
    });
});
Solution

  • Unfortunately negative remaining time is hard-coded and cannot be controlled via options.

    The simplest solution would be to download jPlayer latest release and modify dist/jquery.jplayer.js as follows:

    Replace the following line:

    durationText = (remaining > 0 ? '-' : '') + this._convertTime(remaining);

    with:

    durationText = this._convertTime(duration);

    Optionally you can minify modified file (for example, here).

    Finally you would need to include modified file instead of the original version on your page.
