Hi, Is it possible to get current play time from playback mode or event live mode? example currently video playing at 9/22/2016 4:07:32 PM (display on play control ) is it possible to get that current time using SDK?

Try with the MessageTester tool sample. You will in this way get the PlaybackCurrentTimeIndication when in Playback mode (generally) but not when in Independent Playback on a view item.

When in Independent Playback you can use the ImageViewerAddon methods.

if (!addOn.InLiveMode)
{
   var time = addOn.PlaybackImageDateTime;
}

This snippet is what I used to convince myself this would work, I put the code snippet into the AnalyticsOverlay sample. (Let me know if you need further guidance on this.)

By the way this method will work both when the Smart Client is in Playback mode and when the Smart Client is in Live mode but the camera view in independent playback.
