Initial offset for playing recordings

[177taki]

Would you support a feature enabling to specify a start position (offset) to play a recording? In particular, for long recordings, changing the offset could be helpful in addition to seek.

What I thought is like below. Any better ideas would be appreciated.

Hmm, does something like this not already exist? @barnomasoz ?

@177taki, if you can make it work, go for it. initialOffset needs a default value of 0 though.

[lekoaf]

Something like this maybe?

const [offset, setOffset] = useState(
  vapixParameters['recordingid'] !== undefined && initialOffset !== undefined ?
  initialOffset : 
  0
)

@lekoaf, much appreciated. Precisely what I wanted. Would it be possible to apply this change?

@177taki be my guest.
