Hi
Do you know if it is possible to let the video in a player start at a specific timecode?
I will daily publish 30 minute shows as one long video file with RTMP streaming. But I would like to let the viewers click on specific items from the show, so the player start playing at for example 8 minutes and 25 seconds, instead of from the beginning.
Any experience?
I've had to do this by having the player start at 0, then as soon as the "PLAYING" state event triggers, having a JS callback do a SEEK. It's not an ideal experience for a low-bandwidth user (buffers twice), but for broadband users it's not really that noticeable.
If I remember correctly, the start flashvar works well, but the timeline will start counting from 00:00, rather than showing your relative position in the whole video.
You can use the start flashvar for this (but you need to be using streaming).
