Turn on Independent Playback for camera view.

Hi all,

I am writing a plugin and one of the requirements is that I need to turn on/off Independent Playback mode for camera views in SmartClient “LIVE” workspace. There is a button on camera view toolbar, but I need to find out how to do it programmatically. Lets say I have a button in my plugin, and when I press it, it has to turn on/off Independent Playback mode for a certain camera.

Thanks in advance.

If you have developed your own view item plugin then you can do this. The Smart Client Independent Playback plugin sample shows this.

If you want to take control of regular camera view items it is not possible to turn on/off independent playback.

From what I read it is probably the latter you would prefer to do, and then it is not possible. I will see to it that it gets mentioned as a possible future enhancement for the MIP SDK in the wish-list of the Milestone SDK team.

The enhancement mentioned was prioritized and has now been developed, it is planned to release with the 2021 R1 version.
