In attempting to make a custom playlist for our video player, Kevin and I have been working on two key features: ability to take a subsection of a video and treat it as a “chapter”, and the ability to link multiple chapters together to create a playlist (or “book” if you prefer the literary analogy).
Either way, we’re close to getting everything working. Jumping around in a video works great, as does getting one video to jump to the next. The issue is getting the two to work together with events and timing being synchronized properly (see below):
On slow network connections, events are being fired at inappropriate times, leaving videos to progress onto the next before the first has finished buffering. Perhaps we’ll have to move away from the timeout method of video advancement to get this to work, but either way our 0.1 release is shaping up for shipping out. With a few tweaks of course 🙂
