Question by Osman Yüksel · Jul 17, 2013 at 10:37 PM ·

HLS Seek unaccurate

Hi,

We use JWPlayer 6 and HLS-Stream. I want to seek on a time, but its unaccurate.

F.e.: http://www.longtailvideo.com/support/jw-player/29394/hls-with-mp4-fallback/

When i try to set the time in "0:49", the player starts by "0:40".

Is there any possibility to config the duration of the fragments?

Hi there, you have posted in the "find a consultant" forum. Unless you are looking to hire someone please post your questions in one of the support forums.

For RTMP seek, you can add this to the Application.xml /Streams /Properties container:

<Property>
 <Name>seekTarget</Name>
 <Value>enhanced</Value>
</Property>


this will not affect seek in HLS client

Hi Osman .... the lack of accuracy on the example is due to nature of HLS. When you seek in HLS, it will start on a segment, not the middle of it (video needs to start with a full Key frame). In this example, the segments are 10 secs, which you can see on the manifest definition. So, any jump in video will be on a 10sec factor.

You can modify that for sure when you control the content, either coming out of a streaming server or a static delivery (like this example) ... you can't control that from the player side.

Be careful modifying the duration of chunks as it will have effect on the streaming experience. The latency for downloading a chunk is important. Most player follow the HLS draft to keep in memory no more than 2+1 chunks of buffering content.

regards
