Streaming via OpenWebif and jumping/skipping in time

[panch]

Hi all,

When I stream recordings over WebIf and using VLC, it's not possible to jump to a specific time in the recording. Is this a general problem or something that can be solved?

Best regards,

Carsten

When I stream recordings over WebIf and using VLC, it's not possible to jump to a specific time in the recording.

I can (vlc on Linux, Xtrend et8000 or Miraclebox Twin box, but doubt that would affect things).

Well, I can within the accuracy of where I can click in the time-line across the bottom.

Hi,
do you use normal or transcoded stream?

I think the OP was referring to the VLC menu item Menu -> Playback -> Jump to specific time which doesn't work with my ET10000 and Webif streaming to VLC

Like you, I can click on the bottom time line at any point and the video will jump and play from that position.

The goto feature in Media Player Classic works ok when streaming from OpenWebif.

Just might be a bug in vlc?

I've just streamed a programme and skipped using the time-bar (which works). That sends an HTTP request mid-stream to request a new byte range. (Ran a network trace to look for it).
When I requested jumping to a specific time no HTTP request was sent at all.
