During rehearsels it is quite nice to have a option. to seek video layers to there last 10 seconds

jesperstarkar commented 9 years ago

This is a big issue, would mean a lot to have solved.

Hi i hope not too be rude but

i like to Bump this issue again. on show CasparCG is great !! it should be in rehearsals too IMO :)

where this is a missing link. grt maurice

dimitry-ishenko commented 8 years ago

@mauricev78 in my cloned Server repo I have an experimental patch to allow relative and "from end" seeking. Here. Once I get a chance to test it out a bit better, I was going to add a few options to the Client to take advantage of it. Quite often during rehearsals we want to skip to the end of the video (usually 30s or 1min). So this option would be very useful for me.

Is it stable and mergeable @dimitry-ishenko? Is the new AMCP protocol for load(bg) and play backwards compatible?

dimitry-ishenko commented 8 years ago

@jesperstarkar I haven't checked recently, but it should be mergeable.

In terms of stable, well, that's a relative question. I've noticed that when seek values go outside of the clip range, the Server goes into a tailspin. (I had to delete 40GB log full errors one day, as I ran out of space.)

However, I don't think this was because of the patch. I believe even the current version of the Server will go haywire given screwy seek values. If someone could test that, it would really help. I've got other things on my plate at the moment and have not been able to test it.

It's possible to use the Seek (frm) in the inspector pane for video items, but I guess this issue is about having a shortcut to jump to last X-seconds, right?

jesperstarkar commented 7 years ago

There's a server side PR for this feature natively in AMCP. However, you could put such functionality client side for now.

What we need is a quick way to reherse transitions between segments, coming out of a VTR and into something else.
