OSMF with HTTP stream seeking is resetting start index...
Hi,
I have built an OSMF player that allows users to seek to where they were when resuming, but also to scrub back to the beginning.
EG:
A stream is 1 minute long.
User starts play at 25 seconds.
User can scrub back to 5 seconds or forward to 55 seconds.
This works perfectly with RTMP - TimeTrait reports correctly and video displays correctly.
EG:
Start at 25 seconds, TimeTrait reports: duration = 60, current position = 25 and displaying video is 25.
Seek to 5 seconds rewinds to current duration = 60, position = 5, displaying video is 5.
But...
With HTTP streams...
Start at 25 seconds. TimeTrait reports: duration = 60, current position = 25 and displaying video is 50.
Seek to 5 seconds rewinds to before the start of the stream and gives me a media complete... end of stream.
Start at 30 seconds, TimeTrait reports duration = 60, current position = 30 and displaying video is 60 so gives me a media complete... end of stream.
It is pretty clear that what is happening is that HTTP stream seeking is resetting my start index to the seek point, as if I had started play with:
NetStream.play(seekPoint);
Rather than:
NetStream.play();
NetStream.seek(seekPoint);
This, I hasten to add, is a horrendous issue from my client's point of view as it effectively means I cannot allow resume of content.
Does anybody have any ideas, workarounds?
