The VLC Video player read the video length upon starting and once it reached playing to that time it just exited! That is when the file at that time held a lot more content but past the original ending timestamp... So I guess (before testing actual coding) that the VLC library will not supply such a functionality as dynamically updating a ts file length... -- Bo Berglund Developer in Sweden -- _______________________________________________ lazarus mailing list lazarus@lists.lazarus-ide.org https://lists.lazarus-ide.org/listinfo/lazarus
