I'm trying to set the video start position in the JW Player so the clip starts at a certain point in time.
Unfortunately, the start position parameter doesn't seem to do anything. The code sometimes works properly when running Firefox, but is ignored in IE.
Test link is Here:
http://www.mytestserver.com/video/test2/
This example should start the video 49 seconds in.
Sometimes it works for some Firefox users, never works for IE. Even the JW Wizard example doesn't seem to start the video at anything but the beginning.
Anyone have any ideas? Workaround? Here is the code I'm using in the sample link above:
<script type="text/javascript">
var elm = document.getElementById("myplayer");
var src = 'wmvplayer.xaml';
var cfg = {
file:'http://higgles.mytestserver.com/ri_sk_citycouncil_20100125',
start:'49',
width:'640',
height:'480',
backgroundcolor:'000000',
screencolor:'ffffff',
autostart:'false',
image:'opengov_sm.jpg'
};
var ply = new jeroenwijering.Player(elm,src,cfg);
</script>
The start position will only work if you are using streaming.
start (0): When using an MMS server, use this flashvar to start the video at the start position.
