Video always starts from beginning

[NegreaVlad]

I expect the video to start playing from where the mHolderTopView is set. Instead each time I push play, the video plays from the beginning.

Hello @NegreaVlad

Can you provide more details? (file format, codec, length, device, Android version, etc.)

[NegreaVlad]

Hello @wesjon I made a demo video: https://gfycat.com/BlueScentedCoyote

The video is filmed with the back camera. The video recording is launched from within the app. The device is a Samsung Galaxy S6 running Android 6.0.1. The file format is MP4.

Thanks for the demo @NegreaVlad

I'm currently working on a small refactoring this weekend. I haven't started investigating this specific issue yet but I was able to reproduce it. Seems like the Android's VideoView is rounding up/down when we seek to fractioned seconds (ex.: seek to 3458 plays video at 3000).

I'll be looking this up after later this week.

The issue is either that or it's starting playback at the closest sync frame that is before the position indicated by the thumb.

Appreciate if we have solution to this problem as this is not providing right user experience and its impacting quality of the app.

I have tried to debug the sample code. And found some logical mismatch which is causing the issue. what you need to do is to override the method "setSeekBarPosition" or a workaround is to increase the maxDuration in TrimmerActivity.
