Hi,

I have this inquiry:

I have setup vlc as vod server. I know that I can use the seek option (option --start-time) to start the media at the specified time from the vod server.

Using the GUI, it is easy to know the last offset (in seconds) / the last part of the streaming that is being played (for example: 00:00:48 from the total duration of media file that is being streamed: 00:01:30 ).

My question is:
Is it possible to store this value in a txt file somewhere? In this case, I am using Ubuntu for both the client machine and the server machine.

Here is my configuration:
vlc client(192.168.1.101) -> vlc vod server(192.168.1.201)

Please help if anyone knows how to do it.

I don't think so.

Hi,

Thank you for your reply. How about printing the current streaming offset to standard output (terminal)? Is it possible?

You need to code an extension for that.
