  • I use android player SDK
  • My version is 3.17.0
  • I set startOffset with SourceConfig options with startOffset parameter after casting start

this.sourceItem.options.startOffset = timeCode

and I try to seek after casting start with delay either ,but It not work (will be reset to 0)

bitmovinPlayer.seek(positionMs / 1000.0)

Hi @edward.lee , thanks for sharing the details. This functionality was added to Android player SDK in version 3.37.1. Please update to this or later versions to get this functionality.

In addition, the startOffset should be set to Source/SourceConfig before the source is loaded, setting this after the source is already loaded will not have any affect.

Please try above suggestion and let us know if this helped.

ok!!! thanks for your response immediately.

I will upgrade the version 3.37.1 to try resolve it.

and on the other hand,

I’m sure that I set Source startOffset before it loaded. (but after all thanks your suggest).
