I was just reading up on cuepoints and was wondering - are these
completely tied to the Media class or is there someway I can use
these with my own homegrown media player?

Ideally I would like to store cuepoints to call a slide (to be shown
at a specific time in the video) in the database with other info. I
am already using remoting to get the list of videos so I would also
like to shy away from XML to make it as dynamic and user-controlled
as possible.

Is this possible?

TIA,
Sean

Just reading that I realized I should have been more clear - the
video player we have is written in actionscript with no components -
just a video object - so I can't really use the
Media.addCuePoint.....or can I? I guess that is really the question...

Ok it is late and I should not be posting after a couple beers. I
meant to include that Captionate is not really a good option because
we are dealing with 3 bandwidth encodings. This is video on demand
presentation stuff.

Thanks for bearing with me on this ;)

No you currently cannot add cuepoints in that way.
However I have successfully triggered 'fake' cuepoints by simply monitoring
ns.time and call a function at a specified time.

Ditto, I use setInterval to fake cuepoints for the playback of various
components that utilize sharedobjects (Chat, whiteboard, video/audio
streams). However, the problem that I run into is that when using
setInterval as the absolute time is that the video playback time is
unable to sync up correctly, not just by a small constant offset, the
error aggregates and in stream s lasting hours this creates
asynchronous behavior in the playback.

Hmm. Ok. Thanks will try it. I am looking at no more than an hour and
prob a lot shorter than that if we cut it up into segments.

Thanks!
