check if utube video is playing

[braunbaer]

Hi!

Is it possible for a script to know whether a youtube video (or maybe any video) is currently running on the computer? I would like to perform some tasks when the computer is idle, but I don't want AHK to interrupt when I am watching a video (in that case, mouse and keyboard may be idle for an extended period of time, so only checking A_timeidle is not enough).

Very challenging. Not built-in

A less elegant but straightforward solution

Thank you for this suggestion.
It won't work exactly this way, because often I leave the computer after pausing a video that remains on the screen, but i can capture a part of the screen where videos normally play and check a second later if the screen has changed.
If nobody comes up with a better solution, I will try it this way.
