The VideoLAN Forums

We are adding video to one of our applications. The camera takes videos in .h264 format. We also receive an xml file with timestamps/frames with each file. We know the time we need the video to start at. Is there anyway or code example to start a video at a specific time?

For example user1 crosses a threshold at 8:08:32. We know this in our code already. I want to look him up and click a button to view the video at that time.

Any help is appreciated. Hope this is in the correct place in the forum. OH I gravitated towards VLC, because the player came with the camera.

Thanks

I should add, our camera saves three files. .xml, h264 and .au. Thanks

vlc file.h264 :input-slave file.au :start-time=800
