Hi all!

Here's what I want to do:

User watches a video that runs in PrestoPlayer Plugin. If the user watches the full video (100%) I would like to update metadata to show/check off that they've completed the video.

I have a custom post type that I display all the links to the posts with the videos but I would customize the page to also have a check icon that is displayed if they have watched the video. I believe I can do this dynamically using Kadence Blocks Pro.

I can use Uncanny Automator to automate the checking to see if the user watched the full video.

Trigger: If user watches x video to 100%
Action: update user meta

Does this sound like a good way to do this and use Meta box to create the user meta fields?
or
Would you suggest another way to go about this?

Thanks,
Mark W.

Hello Mark,

I'm not sure if it is the best way to update the user meta but if a third-party plugin can help you to check if the user watched the full video, you can create a callback function and update the user meta by using the function:
- update_user_meta() https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/update_user_meta/
- or rwmb_set_meta() https://docs.metabox.io/functions/rwmb-set-meta/
