Well, yes, I'm aware of that. However, it doesn't just read the stream header, it spends 10-15 seconds buffering the initial stream. This is leading to a really poor user experience, as the user has to wait (and pay) for the first part of the stream to be buffered --- then the seek happens, it all gets thrown away, and the user has to wait (and pay) for *another* 10-15 seconds while the buffer gets filled from the correct location. Is there any way of streamlining this? Can I tell MediaPlayer to *just* read the metadata and not to try and fill the buffer, for example? -- David Given [EMAIL PROTECTED] --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
