[IGN-6331] Perspective Video Player Start from Beginning

Ignition

On 8.1.17, playing around with the VideoPlayer component. If I stop playing, uncheck play, is there a way to force playing from the beginning (reset progress to 0) once play is checked again?

I would use a change script attached to the props.status.paused property:

if currentValue and currentValue.value:
    self.props.controls.seek = 0
3

I’m confused, seek is always 0. I did try changing it to non-zero and back to zero but that didn’t seem to do any good.

Ah, @jlandwerlen You had me doubting myself!

  1. Don’t confuse props.status.seeked with props.controls.seek.
  2. It looks like there’s a bug that prevents seeking “backwards”, so you can’t set it to a previous time - only some time in the video which is ahead of the current time. This is going to prevent this exact use case.

I wasn't. props.controls.seek is the time in which the video should start playing. I have mine set to zero. It doesn't always start at 0. But, this isn't a huge deal.

Does anyone know if this bug has been fixed? I read that they don’t have someone designated to update forums, thought I’d ask in case they missed this one.

No, this bug still shows as awaiting development in our ticketing system.
