No, because: I start the streaming. 10 minutes later, Leslie connects and gets the video maybe 1 minute delayed because of IceCast2 buffering. Her browser (Chromium and Firefox, haven't tested Opera), starts telling ?currentTime? from when SHE started to look at the live stream. Instead of showing when the stream started. So it's quite impossible to use that for syncing. I asked about that here in this list, and got the answer that this is what we have startTime property for, -- but it is not implemented correctly in any browsers. startTime would then maybe say 0:00:00 for most clips, but on streaming Leslie would have 0:10:00, and then I can use that for syncing. -- Beste helsing, Odin H?rthe Omdal <odin.omdal at gmail.com> http://velmont.no
