Methods

o setTime 
 public abstract void setTime(int time) throws QTException
Sets the player to the time specified. This time value at this level is a totally arbitrary value - what time that means in "real time" is determined by the implementor of the interface, typically the scale value will determine what a "real" time of 1 second is.

Parameters:
time - the new time value

 public abstract int getTime() throws QTException
Returns the current time value of the object.

Returns:
the current time.
o getScale 
 public abstract int getScale() throws QTException
Returns the time scale of the player - how many ticks per second.

Returns:
the current scale.
o getDuration

Returns:
the media duration.
