Hello! I filed bugs at mozilla and in chromium because I want to sync real time data stream to live video. Some of them told me to send it here as well. :-)
It's only possible to get relative playtime with html5 in javascript. I want absolute timestamp that's embeded in OGG. The spec only deals with relative times, and not getting out information from the Here's the deal: I stream conferences using Ogg Theora+Vorbis using Icecast2. I have built a site that shows the video and then automatically shows the slides (as PNG files) as well. I use orbited (COMET) to have the server PUSH my «next» presses on my keyboard. The problem is that icecast does heavy buffering, and also the client, so that while I switch the slides, the browser will go from slide 3 to 4 WAY too early (from 10 second to 1 minute). If I could get the timestamp OR time-since-started-sending/recording from the ogg file in javascript, I'd be able to sync everything. There are multiple way to sync this, may even an stream with the slide-data INSIDE the ogg file, however, AFAIK there's also no way of getting out such arbitrary streams. (PS: I had some problems, so sorry if you get this email many times! :-S) -- Beste helsing, Odin Hørthe Omdal <[email protected]> http://velmont.no
