Stacked files - watch time stamps

... he has a valid point there:

aTV communicates "watch timestamps" timing from the beginning of a file.

PMS needs those from the beginning of the movie/whole set.

This is an issue with PlexConnect's "stacked file support". I guess we need a ticket on github and a volunteer to fix that. :-)

Here is the ticket. I am not able to remux the 4 stacked files into a single one...

Yeah, thanks! I thought you might forget about it... :-D

How can we move forward ? Do you need any help from my side ?

[iBaa]

Well, if you do know your way in .js and python, understand PMS XMLs and the aTV, you could take the chance and modify the code: Fork the code, develop the fix, create a pull-request. If you don't have that experience, you got to learn... :-D No, honestly, it's on my list, but I'm currently busy working in other corners.

I don't want to change your priorities... But if you tell me what is the module where changes need to be made, I can try and see what I can do...

[iBaa]

I think... it should all go into application.js. But that .js code somewhat hard to digest - well, at least for me it is.

Step 1: communicate (hopefully) correct timestamp to PMS: https://github.com/iBaa/PlexConnect/commit/17973ec47a3a5dcdde7b0eec7b77db896172b814 Step 2 is still open: start aTV/iOS player in later section/part.
