How to control seek on Media Player?
i adjusted it to play video seek after 5th minuts but its not working.
My video is playing from beginning. I don’t want to play video from beginning.
i just want to play video from 5th minuts.
So how to do that?
Like this:
tl;dr:
put 1 in Days

@Everynone maybe i explain wrong.
i only need to play at what minuts i want on video Seek. Not real time date or time
Did you try putting 1 in Days? I know the Date Time would otherwise be invalid. Perhaps it’s the same with Time Span. Worth trying.
Looks like I’m wrong.
@Everynone sorry for my bad english.

Flip the node order around. Open first and then seek. Perhaps there’s nothing to seek if the media is yet to be loaded.
@Everynone i did what you said.
but its not working.
Assuming the vid is, indeed, 10 minutes long, this should work. I’ll have a look and get back to you a little bit later.
Got it. It’s, kind of, an Unreal thing. The video does not seek because there was no time to load it. Try this:
You can use the Seek’s Return Value + Branch to query whether Seek was successful:
This should make it work with any files size.
Alternatively:
Use the latent node instead, it will only execute the script once the data is loaded.
hi there umm it didnt work for me I donno where I am wrong can you help?
In case anyone needs it, I solved this by binding to the OnMediaOpened event after OpenSource or OpenPlaylistIndex (any function that opens new media), calling Seek in the bound event, and unbinding right after.
I have a similar issue. I load a video by passing a file location to OpenURL and waiting for the OnMediaOpened event to fire. Once this occurs, I play the video and it works great.
The trouble is if I want to rewind the video before playing or seek to a specific time and then play, it does not play. Any ideas why this would not work?
