Hello Graeme,

first of all, thanks for sharing your knowledge, it helped me out a lot as a beginner and got me up to speed on enrolling my own videoplayers, videopreviewers and videochat applications.

I just have one perhaps impossible feature that I just can't really figure out. I wonder if you could make a tutorial about using the server side stream class to make video previews in timelapse. (Since timelapsed recording is possible with the camera on the client, perhaps on the server as well somehow.)

So for example if I have a recorded stream of 3 minutes.. Then with some append magic you make a new version with a frame taken each 5 seconds, but played as 1 frame in the new version.

This way it would be possible to preview videos quickly in the listings instead of having to load the full video to find out if you like it.

Thanks in advance,
Vincent Meens

That doesn't sound so hard, and interesting for that matter. I can get around to that once I clear my plate of a few items that are taking priority because they are paying clients.

You're welcome for the tutorials, glad they are helping.

Thanks for the quick reply.

Basically the only problem I foresee and can't get my head around is that client side you can use "attachCamera" with the second parameter "snapshotMilliseconds" to freeze a frame properly and set its length for the new time lapsed version.

Server side there is no equivalent as far as I can find. Well I can play the stream and record it in a new one, but not freeze a frame of the playing stream. The recording length in the new one is fixable with an interval.
