Implement custom time updates

In some analytics implementations, the client application might want to provide a different playhead position than the position reported by the TVSDK localTime value. For example, during a linear stream playback, each program’s playhead can be provided relative to its start time.

TIP

Override this method only if you want to provide a playhead position other than the default position.

To override the default playhead position:

vaMetadata.setCurrentTimeUpdateBlock(new VideoAnalyticsMetadata.CurrentTimeUpdateBlock() {
    @Override
    public long call() {
        long range = 500L;
        Random r = new Random()
        return (long)(r.nextDouble()*range);
    }
});

IMPORTANT

The values in this code snippet are only samples. You need to use different values for your custom playhead position.
