[vlc-devel] [PATCH 1/1] Supporting ONVIF PRofile-G recording playback

[David R. Robison]

Thanks for the clarification, however, I still need to be able to 
determine which sendPlayCommand signature to use. ONVIF requires the 
"range: clock" header element rather than the "range: ntp" element. One 
approach would be to determine if the "time" is being sent is in 
absolute date/time (unix seconds). I could test the "time" variable and 
if it is greater than 24*60*60 seconds then assume absolute time is 
being sent and use the sendPlayCommand with the ISO 8601 formatted times 
otherwise use the sendPlayCommand with doubles. This is a bit of a kluge 
but may mean minimal changes to VLC. Any thoughts.
