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

[David R. Robison]

I also noticed that there is no way from the libvlc media player 
interface to set an end time or to specify a play length. I need to be 
able to request playing a limited section of recorded video (15 or 30s 
worth) by specifying the start/stop time in unix seconds. I can use the 
set_time to set the start time, but I have no way to 1) specify an end 
time and 2) let the live555 module know to send a "range: clock" header 
rather than a "range: npt" header. I was thinking of having a 
set_time_zero call that would set the absolute date/time representing 
the player's zero time. In essence this would be the absolute date/time 
of the presentation start. If time_zero was greater than 0, then I would 
use the sendPlayCommand sending the "range: clock" rather than "range: 
npt". However, I would need another function in libvlc_media_player to 
set the stop time. I'm still unsure as to what is the best way to 
approach this. Thoughts?
