Seeking by timestamp, not by byte

[TonalidadeHidrica]

Are there any way to seek by specifying timestamp (for example, seek to 1:17 (1 min 17 secs) point or something)? Currently I can only find seek() function that receives byte index...

I have implemented this kind of advanced stuff in XR3PLAYER code, i will get some of there and add it here. Well hm we need a little bit of planning about implementing this because what if the audio doesn't have 1:17, there are different cases.

[TonalidadeHidrica]

I see. I'll take a look at your XR3PLAYER source code so that I can temporarily implement that feature into my own project, without considering so much about error handling. But I hope more robust one will be implemented in the near future :)

[goxr3plus]

Yes i will take care of implementing it maybe even today :).

To tell the truth my knowledge of Java 11 Modular system is not that good, can you guide me what to read to master it?

[TonalidadeHidrica]

Modular system was introduced in Java 9, and unfortunately, what I think the easiest guide to understand is not written in English :(

@TonalidadeHidrica Do you want to give it a try to implement this feature , i will help you these days . I am thinking of making a new release 9.1.0 soon , including this feature .

[goxr3plus]

I release also https://github.com/goxr3plus/java-stream-player/releases/tag/9.0.3 based on your pom :)

[TonalidadeHidrica]

Thanks for offering, but I'm being busy these days and cannot spare time for this so much, I'm very sorry. But I would really appreciate if it was implemented!

I did it for you @TonalidadeHidrica today , now we have :

1)seekBytes(long bytes);
2)seekSeconds(int seconds); //Skip plus seconds from the current position
3)seekToSeconds(int seconds); //From the beggining of Audio

//TODO

//HH:MM:SS not that hard to implement just converting all to seconds and
//calling seekSeconds(int seconds);
4)seek(String pattern); 

//HH:MM:SS not that hard to implement just converting all to seconds and
//calling seekTo(int seconds);
5)seekTo(String pattern); 

One thing to have in mind.

I am thinking of seekSeconds(int seconds) to accept both negative and positive .

For negative it will go backwards and for non negative it will go forward.

Let me know your opinion :)

[TonalidadeHidrica]

Thank you veeeeery much!
I think seekSeconds and seekToSeconds methods should accept double instead of int. Also, I think it's good idea to accept negative values for seekSeconds.

[goxr3plus]

Hmso what they will skeep x seconds and y milliseconds?

[goxr3plus]

Tell me something should this method be like this ?

//HH:mm:ss.SSS not that hard to implement just converting all to seconds and
//calling seekTo(int seconds);
5)seekTo(String pattern); 

I should create a validator and parser hm.

So about your seconds request .

i will create one more method called

seekSeconds(int seconds,int milliseconds);
//HH:mm:ss.SSS not that hard to implement just converting all to seconds and

and 2.

//calling seekTo(int seconds);
seekTo(String pattern);
