Starting point of a video stream
Hello,
I am wondering if this is at all possible in FMS.
I have been trying to do this locally on my machine by using the download simulator but the simulator doesnt seem to work especially when I give the player a 2GB file to load over a 14kbps connection, the file seems to load within a split second and absolutely no buffering occurs.
My problem below needs to be answered before I can persue and purchase and set up a web server to run FMS as a production server, but understandably I do not want to do this until I know it is possible to do what I want to do.
Anyway here goes, this is what I want to know if it is possible:
Let say I have put a 60min video on the server which I want to stream. But I only want to stream the last 20mins of it. Am I able to set the player to stream from the last 20mins and for there to be no progressive download required before? I need the stream to start almost immediately from the start of the last 20mins and for it to continue plaing until the remainder of the video completes. So essentially I only want to load a part of the movie into a stream and disgard the part of the movie I do not want to show.
Is this at all possible?
If so could you provide me with some code which would outline this.
Thank you
Lee
