Problems setting an custom entry to a movie

Question

Hello!
I�ve several problems with my JMF Code. I�m using JMF with the Windows Performance Pack 2.1.1
Playing videos works pretty fine, but now i tried to set a new "rate" and a new entry point for the movie.
I used a code like this:
// p == the player
p.stop();
//in order to play the movie from 30 second
p.setMediaTime(new Time(30000));
p.setRate(10);
//this sysout shows me a rate == 1.0 and some seconds smaller than my settings
System.out.println("Time & Rate: " + p.getMediaTime().getSeconds() + " " + p.getRate());
p.start();
//another try was the line below...but it also doesn�t work
//p.syncStart(new Time(30000));so...i know there are tons of threads about this problem, but none suggestion already made solves my problem. i also read about a hack in order to make the FramePositionControl work with this veriosn here: http://www.onjava.com/pub/a/onjava/2005/06/01/kgpjava.html?page=last
now is the question, what i have to do in order to start my video on my desired time. Do i have to call something like p.acceptChanges() or something like that?!
sorry for another post about that problem, but i�m lost :(
any ideas are welcome!

hi!
i´ve solved my problems by using nanoseconds (defined as long) in new Time(). So i was able to start my move from a specific time. i also implemented the ControllerAdapter on my player in order to get the events i needed to set the player correct:
          p.addControllerListener(new ControllerAdapter() {
               public void stopTimeChange(StopTimeChangeEvent e) {
                    <some stuff>
               public void mediaTimeSet(MediaTimeSetEvent e) {
                    <some stuff>
               public void stopAtTime(StopAtTimeEvent e) {
                       p.deallocate();
                                <reseting the times>
                    p.realize();
                    p.prefetch();
          });so it is possible for me to play the connected media file from each time i want. i hope this helps you
