Start RTMP streams in the middle?
#1
Hi everyone,
I have this xml file consisting of rtmp links and is trying to adjust them a bit.
What I would like to do is to start the streams not from the begining but instead some minutes later.
My Stream file looks like this:

<item>
<title>Mystream</title>
<link>rtmp:// swfUrl=player.swf playpath= pageUrl= live=1</link>
<thumbnail></thumbnail>
</item>

I read somewhere that this was a allowed parameter:
start integer
Stream start position in milliseconds

So I added start=120000 thinking it should start two minutes in the stream however it just keep starting from the begining.

<link>rtmp:// swfUrl=player.swf playpath= pageUrl= live=1 start=120000</link>

Am I doing something wrong or is this not possible to do?

I'm using LiveTV for playing the xml if that matters. Sorry if this should be in the support forum but I figured this was of a more general nature then related to a certain add-on.

Thank you
/Johan

If you look here:
http://rtmpdump.mplayerhq.hu/librtmp.3.html

It says, the start= option is not valid for live streams. If what you're trying to watch is not live maybe set live=0 or just remove it.

True, it's not a livestream so I don't know why I kept the live flag Smile When removed the skipping worked perfect!
And thanks for the link, it will help me even further!
