## README

# canplay

This is a super simple function designed to trigger a callback when the
supplied media element can be played.  This is particularly useful when
working with the `getUserMedia` API as capture succeeds before frames can
be rendered to the display (or captured through canvas drawing).

## Example Usage

```js
var canplay = require('canplay');
var getUserMedia = require('getusermedia');
var attach = require('attachmediastream');

getUserMedia({ video: true, audio: false }, function(err, stream) {
  var video = (! err) && attach(stream);

  if (err) {
    return console.error(err);
  }

  canplay(video, function(err) {
    if (err) {
      return console.error(err);
    }

    console.log('ok to play');
  });
});

```
