While streaming is there a way to show on the client side player time elapsed/remaining or at least time remaining? Thanx in advance. God bless you for (probably) the best open-source piece of software.

VOD? TS? What format and protocol?

TS http streaming. Thx

With streaming, this is expected that you don't have the time.

If you want to display time and title of what you are streaming, or just elapsed time, use this as an example.

#transcode{sfilter=marq{marquee="$N$_$T$_$D",position=5,size=12,opacity=255}
