Examples

These examples add an event listener for the HTMLMediaElement's stalled event, then post a message when that event handler has reacted to the event firing.

Using addEventListener():

const video = document.querySelector("video");
video.addEventListener("stalled", (event) => {
  console.log("Failed to fetch data, but trying.");
});

Using the onstalled event handler property:

const video = document.querySelector("video");
video.onstalled = (event) => {
  console.log("Failed to fetch data, but trying.");
};
