What does an ETCO timing file look like?
I'm creating a slidecast for a 30 minute talk with 90+ slides. Some of the slides appear for only a few seconds. The interactive tool seems to have a minimum of about 10 seconds per slide. So I tried creating and uploading an ETCO timing file. I can't find information about the file format. My guesses partly work, but everything is shifted and it's definitely not what I need.
All I need is a quite example. Are these special headers required?

Inappropriate?I tweeted about my struggle to infer the format of the ETCO timing file. I got a response from slideshare that said this feature was not ready, had been exposed by mistake (though it seems to have been available for some time now), and to use the manual sync tool, at least for now.
That's the official word. But I have seen some slidecasts with slide intervals much shorter than is possible with the manual sync tool. So it seems that some people got the timing file to work.
I’m undecided

Inappropriate?I read that post and tried the suggested format. But it didn't quite work for me. It partly worked, but the timings were connected to the wrong slides.
My file looked like this:
89, 119, 140, 163, 168, 186, 235, 241, 243, 247, 251, 275, 281, 288, 337...
Everything was shifted. The first slide had ??? for the start time. The transition from slide 1 to 2 was also at time ???. It should have been 89. The transition from slide 2 to 3 was at 89 seconds. The rest of the transitions occurred as in the file but they were attached to the wrong slides--everything was shifted.
I tried using a 0 to start. Didn't work. I tried several other things to get the first transition right. I couldn't get it it to work. Then I tweeted my frustration and slideshare responded as noted above. The basic message was this is not officially supported.
Any insight would help.
I’m sad
