Frame-accurate Seeking
Adds support for seeking to specific frames and SMPTE timecodes.
Since some browsers prohibit acccess to individual frames, the plugin uses a time-calculation approach which is not 100% accurate, but very close.
Manual Javascript setup
Include the plugin next to the core player:
<script src="//cdn.flowplayer.com/releases/native/3/stable/flowplayer.min.js"></script>
<script src="//cdn.flowplayer.com/releases/native/3/stable/plugins/fas.min.js"></script>
OVP managed async player

The FAS plugin is not available in iframe embed codes.

Configuration properties:
-
-
frame_rate- The frame rate of current video.

API
The API lives under fas namespace in the Player API.

current_frame()- Returns the frame at current time.
-
current_timecode()- Returns the current SMPTE timecode.
-
seek_to(timecode_or_frame)- Seeks to either SMPTE timecode or frame number. If a
