How to address a specific time in VOD for iOS

Using Flash and RTMP it's easy to go to a specific time in a VOD stream served from AMS using the seek method.
Is there similar ability to seek to a specific time in VOD delivered to Safari on iOS?  The native video player provides a currentTime method, but I've not seen documentation anywhere to suggest currentTime or another method to provide rapid and accurate time based access from AMS.
FWIW, Wowza documentation provides an answer:

TIA,
RT

Nitin, the link you provided is a bit better than nothing, but it refers to the AVPlayer object in applications, rather than iOS delivered data.  In our experience currentTime is a settable property for the native video player in mobile Safari, using a normal progressive uploaded stream, as the documentation shows:
http://developer.apple.com/library/safari/#documentation/AudioVideo/Reference/HTMLMediaEle mentClassReference/HTMLMediaElement/HTMLMediaElement.html
The question is "Are there browser based methods that seek AMS delivered streams more quickly or with better accuracy?" 
Everyone is aware that mobile is exploding.  On some of our videocentric apps the share for iOS is approaching 20%.  PM Kevin Towes, what are you doing to accomodate this need???

  • New document alert: How to get PDF documents into Adobe Reader for iOS

    Opening PDF Files in Reader for iOS (iPhone and iPad) has been very helpful to many users of Adobe Reader for iOS.  However, Apple has drastically changed the user interface in iOS 7, which made the original document obsolete. 
    According to Apple Developer Support's App Store Distribution page, 89% of devices connected to the App Store are using iOS 7 during a 7‑day period ending June 29, 2014.
    Because of the exceptionally high iOS 7 adoption rate, Adobe Reader for iOS version 11.3 now supports iOS 7 only.
    Here are the new How-To documents for iOS 7.
    How to get PDF documents into Adobe Reader for iOS (iPad on iOS 7 version)
    How to get PDF documents into Adobe Reader for iOS (iPhone on iOS 7 version)
    (It had to be split into two separate documents because each contains way too many screenshots.)
    Hope these documents are as helpful as the original one.
    Please let us know if you have any feedback or suggestions on the topics for other help documents/tutorials.

    Dennis (or any Adobe rep),
    Any updates to the OP's question? I'm with a large government agency, and we're moving away from GoodReader for reasons I can't go into here, and the ability to add user-defined bookmarks within the app is a mandatory feature for the document reader we select. I have the latest version of Adobe Reader (11.6.1) installed on my government iPad, and the ability to add user-defined bookmarks still seems to be missing. Does Adobe have any plans to add this feature, or is it already present and I'm simply overlooking it?
    Thanks,

  • How to set a specific time for measurement file?

    Hello,
    I am trying to get a sampling from a milling machine via RS-232 as

    Can anyone  please tell me  how  I can deal with this?

    Hi JamesC
    This is a file that I got from that code. As you can see, in this file
    a number of sampling is relate to an execution time of the machine.
    However I need to do a sampling with a specific time, like every second.

  • How to set a specific time zone for time channel in DIADEM

    Hi,
    I'd like to know how to autmatically set a specific time zone for time channels in DIADEM.
    For example, I have stored data with corresponding time channel in UTC time on a disk which was collected in another time zone. Now I want to analyze this data and I want the time channel to show the local time in the time zone where the data was collected, and not the time in the local time zone where the computer is located.
    The time channel should also take site local summer/winter time into account. Now I'm running a script that handles it for me which adds or subtract hours according to my input. The problem is that I'm handling data from several different time zones and I'm not located in any of them and when you're running a lot of data over a greater time period, it's easy to make mistakes, especially when it comes to summer/winter time. Is there a any clever solution to this already implemented in Diadem that I have not found? 

    Hi hj77,
    No, I'm sorry, DIAdem has no time zone functionality at all.  I'm afraid you have no choice in DIAdem but to keep running your scripts.  Summer and Winter time are truly tricky, because the rules for when the changes occur are different in different countries and states within countries and also can change from year to year within the SAME country (as they did in the US a few years ago).

  • Scheduling specific time of day for automatic software updates

    How can one schedule a specific time of day (i.e. between 11:01 pm to 5.59 am when I have unlimited download availability) for an iMac to search for automatic software updates? System preferences only offer frequency, but no time option. If it is possible to schedule a specific time, will invoking the feature override the sleep function, wake up the machine and perform the software update and then let the machine go back to "sleep?" Thank you for all your help.

    to clarify barney's suggestion, the following terminal command will download all available updates and put them in your Downloads folder.
    softwareupdate -d --all
    so what you need to do is this.
    1. turn off automatic software update in software update system preferences.
    2. make a cron or a launch daemon to run the above terminal command periodically at the time of your choosing. to make a launch daemon I recommend using lingon http://tuppis.com/lingon/
    The daemon will only run if the computer is not asleep at the scheduled time so you might want to set to to wake/start shortly before that. this is done in system preferences->energy saver->schedule.
    to install the updates once they are downloaded double-click on the pkg files and follow the instructions.

  • How to open NAT in Time Capsule? (for gaming)

    Hi there.
    *How do I open NAT on my Time Capsule?*
    I've tried to go to +Airport Utility > Time Capsule > Internet+, but there's no NAT tab (like I've seen in different solutions on the internet). I only have one tab called +Internet Connection+. In the bottom of this there's a text saying (forgive me if it's a bit off, I'm translating it to English):
    "+Choose whether this Apple-unit shall share a single IP-adress with wireless clients through DHCP and NAT, distribute a selection of static IP-adresses only through DHCP or function as a bridge.+
    +Sharing of connection: Off (bridge function)+"
    (I think the off-option is selected by default in the dropdown, other options are: Share a public IP-adress and distribute a selection of IP-adresses)
    I'm asking this because I'm playing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 on Windows 7, running boot camp on my MBP. My setup is a Time Capsule and Airport Express linked together - the Time Capsule is the main station. The reason why I'm mentioning all of this is to give as much information possible in order to solve the problem.
    Thanks in advance

    Welcome to the discussions!
    DHCP and NAT are disabled when the Time Capsule is configured as a "bridge"....Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode).
    If you need to enable NAT on the Time Capsule, you must set the Connection Sharing to "Share a public IP address" on the Time Capsule using AirPort Utility.

  • How do I add video to a Pages for iOS document?

    I thought that with the latest updates to Pages that there would be 1:1 parity between the MacOS X and iOS versions of  Pages.  However, I am unable to figure out how to add video to Pages in iOS as I can easily do in Pages for MacOS X (just drag & drop).  What is the secret to including video into a Pages for iOS document? Or is this just not possible?  I don't see how audio can be added either.  It seems to be Photos only from the + icon.

    The video should be in your camera roll, tap the +, then the music note and choose your video.

  • How to Copy a Specific Time Machine Back-Up to Ext Hard Drive

    I'm transitioning from a MBP early 09 to a MBA mid 11.  I pruned the MBP pretty well to migrate items from it to the Air, but I want to preserve the last "full" Time Machine back-up of the MBP to an external hard-drive.  Not the "latest" - as the lastest back-up includes the pruning need to migrate necessary items from the Pro to the Air - but one dated a few days before I began the pruning.  How do I get that specific back-up (currently on External Hard Drive A - 250 GB) onto a new external hard drive (Ext Hard Drive B - 1TB)?  I want to preserve that specific back up then ERASE Ext Hard Drive A to use as a portable for the the MBA.  Thank you.

    don't delete anything on the TM drive using finder. you can do it from TM interface. however, in your case it will not help because TM will always make a full backup after a system restore like you did and there is absolutely no way to avoid it. as suggested you might want to reformat the TM drive and start backups from scratch.
    BTW, to delete a single backup you start TM, scroll back to that backup, click on the "gears" action button in Finder's toolbar and select "delete backup".

  • How to prevent a first time login prompt for an external application.

    Hi,
    I'm doing a Portal iFS integration project. We managed to login to our iFS application via an external application definition in the Login Server. We created a JSP screen to create iFS users. In the back-end java-code uses the Portal API to create a Portal user. When this new user uses the external application link for the first time he gets a Portal screen to supply the external username/password combination. Can someone answer the following questions:
    1. How can I customize the layout of this first time external application login screen just like the you can customize the standard portal "login/change password" screens ?
    2. Is there an API to specifiy the external username/password combination for a specific portal user and specific external application in advance in order to prevent the firsttime login screen ?
    Any help/answers would be great. We need to implement this in a few weeks.
    regards,
    Willem-Pieter van der Lugt

    There is an API -- WWSSO_PSTORE_EX which is in $IAS_HOME/portal30/admin/plsql/sso/ssopsex.pks which includes APIs
    for accessing the password store. Please see the package specification here, which is not wrapped. This API is generally private to the SSO schema, but it is granted for EXECUTE to the
    PORTAL30_PS schema - which is the schema provided for access to the password store.
    To add a users credentials to the store, you would use the pstore_add_user_info procedure...
    PROCEDURE pstore_add_userinfo
        p_app_id     IN VARCHAR2
      , p_ssouser    IN VARCHAR2
      , p_app_user   IN VARCHAR2
      , p_app_pwd    IN VARCHAR2
      , p_fname1     IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL
      , p_fval1      IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL
      , p_fname2     IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL
      , p_fval2      IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL
      , p_fname3     IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL
      , p_fval3      IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL

      , p_fval7      IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL
      , p_fname8     IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL

      , p_fname9     IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL
      , p_fval9      IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL
      , p_user_prefs IN VARCHAR2
    );Note that you should provide p_app_pwd as cleartext, and the API encrypts it before storing.

  • How to extract a specific group of data for printing

    New to the forums here, I am using LiveCycle Designer ES 8.2, and am trying to find out how I would have data entered into my form extracted to be printed separately.  In more detail, I have a form that users would fill out then submit to a help desk.  The form would contain hardware specific info which would need to be printed out in such a manner as a ticket.  How would I go about making this happen?
    Thanks for your help!
    Vincent

    Hi vincent,
    You can make the presence of all fields which you don't want them to be printed as Visible (Screen Only) , and the other fields presence as Visible.
    This will let only the needed fields to be printed.
    Hope this help.

  • How to display DB specific data in WEBI for users with Single Universe

    hi,
    I have a WEBI report which is based on Single Universe, which can support both Oracle and SQL Server databases.
    There are 2 users for this report.
    1) Oracle_User
    2) SQLServer_User
    When 'Oracle_User' opens report in InfoView, he should see the data from Oracle DB
    When 'SQLServer_User' opens the same report in InfoView, he should see the data from SQL Server DB
    Please let me know how to achieve this functionality.
    Can we dynamically change the Universe connection based on the User who logged into InfoView..?
    Thanks,
    Vamsee

    hi Anil,
    Thank you for the response.
    I have tried creating 2 connections and restricted each connection for each group, but in Infoview, only one group user is able to refresh the report, whose connection is exported along with the Universe. when the other group user tries to refresh the report, an error is displayed 'You donot have access  the data from this Universe'.
    So the reason is : 'As Universe can be exported to Repository with only one connection' that connection specific group user is able to access data from Universe Whereas other groupuser cannot( as other connection can't be exported along with the same universe).
    As Universe can be exported to Repository with only one connection, how should these connections set for the corresponding groups?
    Could you please provide me the detailed steps w.r.t connections restrictions...?
    Thanks,
    Vamsee
