VLC seek problem

Postby blek » 08 Feb 2006 10:53

Hi!

I use onClick='document.vlc.playSlower(); and onClick='document.vlc.playFaster(); for IE and onclick="document.vlc.seek(-10,true);" and onclick="document.vlc.seek(10,true);" for Mozilla/Firefox. But they don't work properly. The picture freezes and only the sound goes on. Is there another way to FF and RW?

Also the AutoPlay option doesn't work with Firefox! Do you hav any ideas why?

Thank you in advance for you answers!

Best regards!

First off, Play slower is not rewind, it actually plays the video slower. It changes it to 1/2, then 1/4, then 1/8 speed if I remember correctly. Secondly, you cannot do this on a live stream, and will have to wait for the next keyframe in order to see a clear picture on a streaming format file .

Thanks for the reply!
I don't use it to a live stream, I use the VLC plugin for streaming mp4 files. And when I push playFaster button, it starts to play faster for 2-3 seconds and after that the picture freezes. Can you tell me what could be the problem?
Also I try to use the ActiveX Slider, but it doesn't appears on the web. When the web page with the plugin loads, the slider is not there....

If you are not playing over the network, you can safely ignore my reply.
The picture freezes (may be) because the streaming rate is way higher than the server's uploading speed and/or your downloading speed. When you play faster, the streaming rate can be more than two times higher.

You can play locally and check whether it works or not. I can play faster (2x, 4x, 8x) when I stream locally. When I try to do that over the network, I see similar problem as you see.
