Timestamp is not displayed in the SDK "video viewer" 2025 R2 sample component program when current mode is set to playback.

Testing 2025 R2 sample components. The sample program “VideoViewer” does not display a timestamp in the video view when current mode is set to “Playback”.

There is a timestamp displayed in the sample component VideoViewer2Playback when current mode is set to “Playback”.

Both have the “EnableVisibleTimestamp” property set to true.

I have a similar program to the VideoViewer program with the same issue (not displaying playback timestamp). Please help me understand why the timestamp does not appear.

I was able to make the same observation as you. Milestone Development will investigate deeper.

Our investigation shows that the difference between the samples that works (VideoViewer2Playback and ImageViewerClient) and the sample that doesn’t work (VideoViewer) is that the VideoViewer does a Close() on the ImageViewer before initializing. Remove that and timestamp is shown correctly.

The behavior is a bug but with this easy workaround Milestone Development will make a fix in the next version of the MIP SDK, not a hotfix for the current version.
