position tick definition

[HawkXP71 99]

in the API call /Users/{UserId}/PlayingItems/{Id}/Progress

it states 1 tick = 10,000 ms

This means in order to get the actual number of ms from a tick value, you multiply by 10,000

Except its actually 1 ms = 10,000 ticks. and you have to divide by 10,000

For a particular TV show Im experimenting with, Its paused 2:47 using the emby player.

2:47 = 167 seconds, or 167,000 ms, that means the reported tick position if 1 tick = 10,000 ms, should be 1670 ticks.

However, the returned value is 1,679,452,040 ticks, or  167,945 ms if you divide.

I believe this is simply a mistake in the documentation, but its possible the API is returning the wrong value

Hi, what documentation do you mean?

In swagger for the call above

One way to word it is that there are ten million ticks per second.

OK I think the documentation is correct, right? 1 tick = 10000ms. That is true.

Microsofts docs say otherwise

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.datetime.ticks?view=net-6.0

"A single tick represents one hundred nanoseconds or one ten-millionth of a second. There are 10,000 ticks in a millisecond (see TicksPerMillisecond) and 10 million ticks in a second."

Meaning its 1ms = 10000 ticks

Sorry I misread. 1 ms = 10000 ticks.

Yep.  I assume you will file the doc bug?
