Trick play in rtsp vod streaming

trick play allows user to control the media(play, pause, fast forward, rewind etc) that is currently being stream.

recent version of vlc has removed the function where the server sends the media time/duration to the client. this raises a problem when building client player using libvlc to support trickplay features.

in live streaming, trick play is not that important(imho), but in vod, its fundamental.

tell me what you think.

Implemented in 1.0

Just so I understand correctly, are you saying that in version .9 trick play is not available in a streaming environment, however with release 1.0 is will be? If this is the case is there any ballpark timeframe for release 1.0?

is there any ballpark timeframe for release 1.0?

Very soon. Currently there is 1.0.0-RC4 if you want to test it out.

I have vlc 1.0.3 and a MediaBase 9.0 patch 4 server.
vlc works fine as MediaBase client (play, pause, stop).

But how do I make vlc use trickmode on a rtsp stream?

In the message window every time I click the >> button right of the position slider, I get:
main debug: control type=4
main debug: cannot change rate

I can see on the server that no rtsp command is received when I press that button.

I know the server can do trickspeed because i do it all the time with set-top-boxes, but how do I do it with VLC 1.0.3???

Thanks
