How to control video playback?

Jun 30, 2012

Can I write a trigger to control an embedded video/audio to play from, say, 5 seconds, or from a particular cue point?  It seems that we can only play/pause/stop a media.

Thanks!

If I understand the question correctly, if you want a video to play from 5 seconds, just place it appropriately on the timeline.

Once you have inserted a video, you can then select it, click on "Options", and play it Automatically, when clicked, or using a Trigger.

If you have a look at Episode 4 here, you will, (at the end), see a funky "TV/handset controller" that play videos in a number of ways.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Bruce for your help.

Yes, can workaround by doing different video cuts, but it would be very painful.

Btw, if I want to extend the functionality of SL, is there any SDK that I can use?  The project that we are working on requires frequent interaction with our server, so lot of web services call for retrieving/posting data.
