Re: Video meta data - specifically length of video

Thanks, unfortunately I'm working with roVideoScreen and no roVideoPlayer

Re: Video meta data - specifically length of video

Just out of curiosity, what would you do with the video duration on an roVideoScreen?

Re: Video meta data - specifically length of video

I'm working on an analytics plugin that determines the % of video watched. To do that, I need to know the total duration. Rather than report it in the metadata, it would be nice of the SDK exposed it.

Re: Video meta data - specifically length of video

Sorry for the stupid question, but do I need to have SDK version 5 on my PC to use GetPlaybackDuration() (if so when will it be available/where can I get it)?

My Roku has SW version 5.0 (Build: 7070) but whenever I try to call GetPlaybackDuration I'm getting the following error:
Member function not found in BrightScript Component or interface. (runtime error &hf4) in .../pkg:/source/xyz

Thanks for your help

Re: Video meta data - specifically length of video

Sorry about that, it looks like our documentation is a little ahead of our releases this time. That function is not available in 5.0 but will be available in a future release.

Re: Video meta data - specifically length of video

Thanks for the clarification, Mark!
Is there a rough estimate when the function will be available?

Thanks again!
