Clipper Tool -- Playhead jumps back (up to 1s) when Previewing clip

Sorry if this is not in the right forum – please feel free to move it to the correct one.

I am trying to plug in the Clipper Tool (http://showcase.kaltura.com/demos/clipapp/index.php?cb=1409853676) into my website. It works pretty well, but there is one very annoying issue that I keep running into. When I click “Add New Clip” and use the drag-drop sliders to adjust the clip length, the playhead jumps backward from the start of the clip a little when I click “Preview”. When I print out the “updatePlayhead” timings, I see that the playhead is initially at the start of the clip, but then the next time is 1s before the start of the clip. The weird thing is that sometimes the playhead doesn’t jump backward too much (maybe just a few ms) and sometimes it jumps way back.

I also see the issue on this example: http://projects.kaltura.com/RoniC/ClipApp/

I was trying to figure out how to build the ClipperTool from the github (https://github.com/kaltura/clipper) in FlexBuilder, but I couldn’t figure out how to get it to build. I am using FlexBuilder 4, but it complains that ClippingTool was built with a previous version of Flex.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Hello,

This is the right place:)
This can be caused by trying to clip a video that doesn’t have many keyframes - the flash player can only
seek to keyframes, not to any frame in the video.
Does it happen to you with every entry or only some?

Thanks,

Curiosity is a trait I think highly of:)

BTW, would you be willing to write a short doc on the integration you did? I am sure other users will find it useful and I’ll be happy to add it to our docs here:

Thanks,

Hi Carise,

I think there is value in users explaining how they used a component, this one in particular I got some questions about in the past, which I’ve answered referring people to that exact same code you mention so I know there is interest there and getting a simple howto to read could help others:)

So, in short, yes, if you feel like jotting down some of the integration you did it would be great.
Also, if you feel like writing a blog post on your operation and how Kaltura fits in, kind of like a technical user story, we’ll be happy to run it here: blog.kaltura.org

Thanks,
