Unfortunately the seek support in Alien is a bit of a hack, especially because there is no way to know the duration of the stream (why not?). Alien will probably need to be updated to be compatible with the 7.1 seek method. Can you give me the URLs to some podcasts that don't seek properly? It could be an issue with their server, but I'll check it out. _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/beta
