Seek function not working on flowplayer

Question

I want a video to start at a specific point (say 30 seconds into it) and I have tried using the seek() function of flowplayer, according to the API documentation .

flowplayer(function (api, root) {

  api.bind("ready", function () {
    seek(30);

  });

});

But I get the following error message on the console.

Uncaught ReferenceError: seek is not defined

Does anyone know what I might be doing wrong?

It does not look like you are calling the seek method in the correct way. When you bind to the ready event it gives you a couple of parameters. The first argument is the jQuery event object and the second provides a handle on the player API.

From the api parameter you should then be able to call seek

Example

flowplayer(function (api, root) {

    api.bind("ready", function (e, api) {
        api.seek(30);
    });
});
