Hello,
Our importer-plugin imports video and audio content from a remote storage. Before conforming is done, we can (and wish) to stream the audio for playback. But we wish to avoid streaming the audio for scrubbing (too slow). For scrubbing before conforming is done we're okay with silence-while-scrubbing.
So we are using "kSeparateSequentialAudio" as an access-mode. We emit audio while playing before conforming is done, and it's working great. We would like to keep that character.
We have a problem with scrubbing-audio-before-conforming though: Since we can't stream (fast enough) the audio for scrubbing before conforming is done, we were trying to return silence. That's bad, because PPro will cache that silence and will emit it later on again while playing (if conforming isn't completed yet), which we of course want to avoid. We were also trying to return an error (we tried all the error types :-) - with the same result: PPro cached a silence audio and emit it later on during play.
Is there a way to return audio while playing before conforming is done, but at the same time not playing audio while scrubbing before conforming is done (without caching silence) ?
Thanks,
