I am using VLCJ library to play media files that are located on some web server. The only problem i have is how to get correct length of the media. I try to parseMedia but application hangs and if I call getLength on media player it returns 0. Newerthless if using getPosition() and setPosition(float) it works ok, but this tells only % of media played not the actual length in seconds.
Is it possible to get correct length of streamed media and use the progress to go back and forward?
Thank you.
If getLength() returns 0 it's because VLCJ doesn't know (or hasn't been told) how long the stream is, so it literally can't give you an accurate result!
The only way I can think of is if you have something else that works server side (perhaps a server instance of VLCJ) that sends the length of the file across separately?
