AntaresFR 8 Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 HI, I'm trying to start an HLS from a specific point, but it seems I need the tag EXT-X-START:TIME-OFFSET in the m3u8. Could it be possible to add it ? It looks like the ffmpeg command which generate the m3u8 list should contain -hls_start_time I don't understand the main of StartTimeTicks in the API doc. I tried to add it to my playbackinfo request but it dont see it used. Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 36881 Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 It's possible for the future, but in the meantime you can just do a seek client-side after it starts playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntaresFR 8 Posted November 1, 2019 Author Share Posted November 1, 2019 Yes that's what i tried but without success at the moment It doesn't start the stream, but i can see it tries to load corresponding segments. var video = $('#video'); var gototime = Math.floor(StartPositionTicks/10000000); if(Hls.isSupported()) { var config = {} hls = new Hls(config); hls.loadSource(data); hls.attachMedia(video[0]); hls.on(Hls.Events.MANIFEST_PARSED,function() { video[0].play(); video.on("loadeddata",function() { if (gototime!=0) video[0].currentTime = gototime; }); }); } Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntaresFR 8 Posted November 1, 2019 Author Share Posted November 1, 2019 HLS support is really bad on chrome, even with HLS.js it's shitty... When i manually seek, sometimes it works, sometimes it fails... On the emby web client, there are some videos i'm not able to play more than few minutes, then i got a buffer full fatal error in chrome... I hate chrome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
