The web.streamPause function pauses playing a media stream. The position is not changed, so the next play starts where the media was when paused.

Downloading the stream continues in the background.

This function is not recorded. You can insert it manually into your script.

Example

The following example implements the basic streaming flow skeleton:

  1. Play the movie from the beginning (the entire movie duration is XXX).
    web.streamPlay( { id : n, playingDuration : XXX } );

  2. Pause the movie.
    web.streamPause( { id : n, pausingDuration : XXX } );

  3. Stop the movie.
    web.streamStop( { id : n } );
