What is the measurement of PositionTicks?

[sufr3ak]

While looking through playback history via the API, I saw the PositionTicks entry, but I'm unsure what it's measurement is. I played content for a few minutes (PlaybackDuration), and stopped the content. I stopped around 35 minutes in. Position ticks is 30006257. I cannot see how that converts to anything close to 35 minutes. It's not divided by 10,000,000 as RunTimeTicks is.

Any insight would be awesome, thank you

Hey @sufr3ak , Position ticks is from Jellyfin, i have a snipet of code that could help you in figuring out how to process it.

  let ticks = NowPlayingItem.RunTimeTicks - PlayState.PositionTicks;
  return getETAFromTicks(ticks);

function getETAFromTicks(ticks) {
  // Get current date
  const currentDate = Date.now();

  // Calculate ETA
  const etaMillis = currentDate + ticks / 10000;
  const eta = new Date(etaMillis);
  const twelve_hr = JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem("12hr"));

  // Return formated string in user locale
  return eta.toLocaleTimeString([], { hour: "2-digit", minute: "2-digit", hour12: twelve_hr });
}```

This is interesting, thank you. I am using a friends code which does the following through JQ

 StartTime: (
      (.ActivityDateInserted
        | sub("\\.[0-9]+Z$"; "Z")
        | fromdateiso8601
      ) - .PlaybackDuration
      | strflocaltime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M")

Are you saying RunTimeTicks - PositionTicks are the same increment? Cause RunTimeTicks into seconds has to be divided by 10000000

Also, I'm using Emby, not Jellyfin, if that matters
