VLC Video Time

Hei,

I have a question related to the VLC paused video timing. During the live migration how the current video time is saved and migrated to the another node. Thank you so much.

Hi, I don’t really understand what is ‘video time’ that you mention? Do you mean the clock time ( example 00:23 ) counter display in the vlc app ? Or you just ask how the video can continue run at other node without start from scratch ?

Hi @vutuong,

Thank you so much for the reply, yes the clock time of the video such as 23 sec and how the another host receive this information to start running the video from 23 sec instead of running it again. Also what is approach on getting the 23 sec time from VLC app. Please let me know if it is not clear.

In this PoC, I just use the VLC as the UI that get the streaming data from the video pod, therefore I didn't really care about it.
However, I notice that there is a workaround that you can show the time as following link:

I run the video pod from the vlc-app image and here is the Dockerfile:

In my opinion, you can add time and date as a marquee to the video pod by modifying the Dockerfile or adding the args in this template:
