Hi, I’m failing to get the current position for the time bar. I’d like to access some external data and show it based on that timestamp. An even better approach would be to subscribe to the event fired when that time bar is changed, and then I’d access that external data. Could you please point me towards this info? Thank you.

I found this MessageId

VideoOS.Platform.Messaging.MessageId.SmartClient Class Reference

const String PlaybackCurrentTimeIndication = “SmartClient.PlaybackCurrentTimeIndication”

The PlaybackCurrentTimeIndication can be used to retrieve display time when the playback UserControl, either because of user action or running playback.If running normal speed playback, this message will be retrieved very often, e.g. 25 times a second.The actual DateTime will be stored in the Message.Data field.This message can be used to synchronize other kind of data and text with the video being shown.

TIP:

You can see the messages in the Smart Client if you run the Message Tester tool plugin sample.
