Timeshift, offset in VLC

Does offset parameter work when stream via VLC. Meanning when I put following url to VLC client or any other RTSP client it doesn't work;
rtsp://<server>:<port>/<path>;offset=<seconds>

I've couldn't find anything in webforums, only command line parameter for vlc client which I am not really looking for.

I would really appreciate a help.

Thanks,
Mert

While I have not looked at the URL parsing implementation, I do know from examination of the VLC source code that implementation of the Range RTSP header (used for the specification of time offsets) is still relatively rudimentary - See my post in the thread viewtopic.php?t=20771 for further explanation.

No offset feature?

Robc,
So there aren't any offset feature in current VLC release. Are there any other way to start the movie from somewhere else instead of the beginning??? If not what do we need to do to implement that feature into vlc, I would be happy to do some coding or provide some kind of help inorder to see this feature in vlc?

Thanks,
Mert
