robs99 Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Hey, i'm trying to build a video streaming site. Everything works good so far, except for one thing. I want users to be able to "jump" around the timeline, so users can browse through the video before its fully loaded. Alot of sites (like youtube) have this feature, for some reason its not working on my site. Here is the video player: http://www.pajasof.com/media/player/player.swf?f=http://www.pajasof.com/media/player/config.php?vkey=5 I hope you guys can help me Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gizmola Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 Well, there's 2 answers. First off, using a streaming server, you inherently get the seek ahead capability. Of course the streaming server is expensive, and introduces the reliability and quality problems inherent to streaming. Then there is either buying or hacking your own seekable progressive download server. Although this thread is rather old, it does provide source to a player/server solution that provides jumping ahead. http://www.flashcomguru.com/index.cfm/2005/11/2/Streaming-flv-video-via-PHP-take-two Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
