使用MPMoviePlayerController的seekToTime

Question

I have used MPMoviePlayerController for my project, but suddenly I realize that I cannot jump accurately to portions of my video, by simply setting the setCurrentPlaybackTime value to 10.2 secs.

Is there a way to use seekToTime with an MPMoviePlayerController object, or will I have to rewrite my whole code using AVPlayer?

Answer 1

I found an interim solution to re-encode the videos with more frequent I frames.

#Check number of i frames
ffprobe -show_frames "First video.mp4" 2>/dev/null |grep  "pict_type=I"|wc -l

#encode by increasing frequency of i frames
ffmpeg -i "First video.mp4" -g 15 "First - video-1.mp4"

I am hopeful that there is some AVFoundation expert out there who will give me a code snippet to hook into seekToTime from an MPMoviePlayerController object. ;-)
