Hello i have one simple question.

is it possible to seek inside m3u8 file?

For example i have file:

http://localhost/hls-vod/sample2_1000kbps.f4v.m3u8


and i need to start playing this file from 10 seconds

is it possible to have url something like in pseudostreaming:

http://localhost/hls-vod/sample2_1000kbps.f4v.m3u8?start=10

Server doesn't support sending playlist from a specified time. This is more of client side functionality. You may write your custom app for HLS playback.

AVPlayer "seekToTime" api might be useful.

Thanks for replay,

I've already did it with

setCurrentPlaybackTime
