• End Offset specifies the end of the playback range in seconds from the beginning of the
media. The media can be played only within the playback range. For example, if you set this
option to 100, the user cannot fast forward or play past the first 100 seconds of the media.
The default value for this option is 0, which allows the media to play to the end.
