Retrieve current position from the stream

[jlspea01]

I am using the IMediaStreamActionNotify2 interface to trigger events whenever a 'play', 'pause', etc happens on my file-based stream. I can see the methods getting called and going to my logs, but I am not able to get a critical piece of data.

Namely, if someone has paused or stopped the video, I would like to know at what point/frame/time they paused.

I have looked at getDataTC, getVideoTC, getMaxTimecode and getLastKeyFrame().getTimecode() and have had no luck. Any help is appreciated.

It should be the location value that is passed into the onPause method.

For onSeek and onPauseRaw it is "location". For on onPlay it is playStart:

public void onPlay(IMediaStream stream, String streamName, double playStart, double playLen, int playReset) 
{
	streamName = stream.getName();
	getLogger().info("Stream Name: " + streamName);
}
		
public void onPauseRaw(IMediaStream stream, boolean isPause, double location) 
{
	getLogger().info("onPauseRaw By: " + stream.getClientId());
}

public void onSeek(IMediaStream stream, double location)
{
	getLogger().info("onSeek");
}

That's helpful, but only gets me part way there.

What about for onStop or if I do the detection during onStreamDestroy? Is there a way to get this from the stream itself?

For video on demand I don't think it is accessible through the API.

Thanks.

At least now I know and I can attempt to do some calculations to "guess" based off of the start, pause and seek calls.
