Yes. In "coarse mode", the position "snaps" to the nearest I frame. That
allows faster navigation because you don't have to decode the whole GOP.

Actually, this behaviour is configurable. If you travel less than
wheel/threshold (default: 24) frames, the program switches to "fine
mode" and positions accurately. You can change the threshold by editing
the configuration file.

Well, it's a *time* display, isn't it?

autoconf
./configure --whatever-options-you-need
make
