Online Playback of History Session

The total duration and playable duration of a downloaded video file may be different because the logout time and last operation time are different.

• The total duration starts from the time when a system user logs in to a resource to the time they log out of the resource.
• The playable duration starts from the time a system user logs in to a resource to the time the last session is complete.
