Why seek function isn't running in lastest JW?

5 replies [Last post]

someone could do this function to run properly? I follow step by step, reading the documentation, but does not work. The other functions (play, pause, stop, volume ...) are fine.

What's happening?

Have already achieved a solution to this problem? What?

If you post a link to your test page, someone may be able to help you without guessing (which we're NOT going to do).

The request for: http://content.bitsontherun.com/videos/3ta6fhJQ.flv

is being re-directed to a bitgravity server at: http://bitcast-a.bitgravity.com/botr/SwpclVrI/videos/3t
a6fhJQ-987.mp4

The v4.2.90 player used on that demo page, as well as the embedding code being used on that demo page, are not capable of seeking in a MP4 file delivered from a bitgravity server.

if I use an mp3 file on local access here at my computer, or on another server I could do this using the same code?

You can't seek into the non-downloaded portion of an MP3 file unless it is being served by an RTMP server.

If you really want to do this locally, you could install the Red5 RTMP server. It's free, open-source, and an easy install on Windows or Linux. Then serve the Flash movie (player.swf) and the MP3 file from Red5. Even though the server is on the same computer, it is online as far as the Flash Player is concerned.

An online player can only access online files.

An offline player can only access offline files.

The JavaScript API does not work offline, so you won't be able to use those functions with an offline player and offline files.
