Get current time of playbin

[Kenneth Haansen]

Hi, 

I would like to use the arrow keys to skip 5 seconds forward and backward in my video which is played with playbin. Therefore I need to find out how far into the video I am so I can add or subtract 5 seconds and use seek simple to go to the right time. 

Hope you can help me!

Take a look at the Swing video player example, which links a slider to
show and control the video position using seek simple.
