how to get current time from videojs.wavesurfer - video.js

Question

I want to get the current time, within the video being played when I click within the audio waveform.
I'm playing a video stream, I want to be able to pause, then add a note to a table about something within the video. So I need to get the currentTime.
I merge an audio stream with the video and play in a div.
let options = {
controls: true,
bigPlayButton: false,
autoplay: false,
loop: false,
fluid: false,
width: 1000,
height: 200,
plugins: {
// enable videojs-wavesurfer plugin
wavesurfer: {
// configure videojs-wavesurfer
backend: 'MediaElement',
displayMilliseconds: true,
debug: true,
waveColor: 'black',
progressColor: 'purple',
cursorColor: 'yellow',
hideScrollbar: true,
// put waveform in separate container
container: '#waveform'
}
}
};
let videoplayer = videojs('myClip', options, function() {
let videofile = $("#mergedVideo").text()
console.log(" Playing "+videofile)
// load wav file from url
videoplayer.src({src: videofile, type: 'video/mp4'});
});
// Here is the pause... always gives an error..
videoplayer.on('pause', function () {
let currenttime = videoplayer.getCurrentTime();
$('#currentTime').text(currenttime);
alert(" PAUSED ")
});
but i'm getting videoplayer.getCurrentTime is not a function in console. I have this working perfectly for just audio streams.
Any help would be grealty appreciated.

It's currentTime(). There's a getCurrentTime() on the lower level tech abstraction, but you shouldn't (need to) use it directly.
