Hello, I'm trying to develop an iPhone/iPod Touch web app, allowing to watch online video. It's something YouTube alike: a web site (served from a JAVA application server) exposing the catalog in HTML format and serving the movies (over HTTP). To play the movie, the iPhone/iPod Touch apparently launches the internal movie player. So far everything OK. What I need however is:
- when the user selects a movie, the movie should start playing from a certain location/bookmark (stored in a database). For PC clients, I achieve this by having my active web server send a HTML file in which the link to the video player gets an additional parameter: the start time. On the iPhone I'd like to do something similar. - when the user stops playing the movie as well as on regular intervals, I need to client/player to send the current location in the movie to the web server. For PC client I do this using a little Javascript and some AJAX. Every minute, the timer activates a Javascript function that gets the current position from the video player and sends it to the web server. Since on the iPhone/iPod Touch playing is done using the internal player such is not possible. If anybody has any idea how I could make this work just like for PC clients, please let me know. Your help is very appreciated. Or are there other ways? I'd prefer not having to do any client side coding (other than HTML, Javascript). Server side however I'm open to all options (more or less :-) ).
