Starting playback in mp4 file at a point other than the beginning Safari issue
I am switching between synchronized video files based on the current playhead time. Things work great on Chrome and Firefox, but on Safari the loaded file always starts at the beginning. I am using strictly html5 which should support seeking to video that has not yet been buffered. Media server is Wowza.
Button code:
jwplayer("videocontainer").addButton(
'/img/large.png',
'Eye',
function () {
timePoint = jwplayer("videocontainer").getPosition();
jwplayer("videocontainer").load({
sources: [{
file: "{{ 'http://' . $onDemandExperienceModel['streamingMediaEdge'] . ':1935/VOD/_definst_/mp4:amazons3/ifta-vod-experiences/' . 'Eye_2Mbps.mp4' . '/playlist.m3u8' }}"
}],
start: timePoint
}).play(true);
},
'button1'
);
