Lottie-web: playSegment not playing in big animations

[juancabrera]

I have two data.json for two SVG animations, one is 70kb and the other one is 121kb (attached to this issue).

when I do .playSegments([0, 230], true) to the small one, works perfect, but is not working with the big one, it might be a bug with bigger animations ?

I have to say, that if it's autoplay: true the animation works great. It's just the playSegments that isn't working.

Hi!
I've tried the animation and it works fine with playSegments.
Do you have a small code demo I can take a look?

[juancabrera]

@bodymovin yes, still can not get it working.

take a look to the attached file.

lala object is on windows, so I was trying to do the playSegments on the console calling directly to window.lala

[juancabrera]

actually I don't think isn't working because is a "big" animation, I have one bigger animation that is working fine.

[bodymovin]

Hi, I found out what is going on.
Your animation starts at frame 840 and ends at frame 1261
if you want to play your first 120 frames form that segment, you should do:
.playSegments([840, 960], true)

[juancabrera]

Ohhh, I see.

How could you know the exact frames of the application ?

Thank you so much!

[bodymovin]

if you check the exported data.json, there are 2 params "ip" and "op" that indicate the start and end of the segment of the composition that is being rendered.

@bodymovin A list explaining what each value in the JSON file would be useful. I know you've mentioned it before. Is there an issue for that already?

@bodymovin even after locating the 'ip' & 'op' params i still cant get the playSegments functionality to work, my animation just plays the entire length of the animation when calling it, any tips?
