Is there a way to get the current frame number of a video while playing in implay?

I have video files in a .MP4 format. I can play them using

video = 'C0004.MP4';

h = implay(video);

Is there a way to begin playback via the command line? And once playback has started, is there a way to get the current frame number of the movie at a particular instance, or when the video has paused?

Hi Gavin,

You can get the Current frame number when the video is paused as follows:

1. Play the video

fig = implay('Test.avi')
fig = 

    UnifiedScope with properties:

      InstanceNumber: 1
       Specification: [1x1 iptscopes.IMPlayScopeCfg]
          MessageLog: []
          DataSource: [1x1 matlabshared.scopes.source.FileSource]
              Visual: [1x1 iptscopes.VideoVisual]
              Parent: [1x1 Figure]

2. Pause the video.

3. Get the current frame number

CurrentFrameNumber = fig.DataSource.Controls.CurrentFrame

    CurrentFrameNumber =

       953

Thank you. Is there any documentation on programmatically utilizing the implay Movie Player?
