VLCKit setPosition and setTime Not Updating Position or Time

[sgaw]

Hi. I think I must be doing something really stupid but when I call VLCMediaPlayer's setTime or setPosition methods the VLCVideoView updates to show the correct frame but the time and position methods return the original values. I do get a buffering state change and the time/position update properly when I resume playback.

My issue is that I'd like to be able to pause the video, step through it frame-by-frame, jump around, using a slider, etc. and then retrieve the current time or position and I can't.

Since the VLC application updates the time when you click in the timeline scrubber I'm hoping it's something I'm doing wrong or a properly I've not set.

Any help would be massively appreciated.

unfortunately, it's a limitation of VLC.
