Hello James,
I agree with you about the meaning of the error, but I still get it, even if
I seek backwards (to see what had normally already been buffered).
I don't know if the vlc plugin is actually able to make pre-buffering (in
the sense of what we can see on the youtube web plugin for example). Perhaps
it downloads packets when they are needed (in a small time window). I would
like to have a confirmation on that point.
Whatever, if your integration of the videolan+seekbar stuffs allows to seek
backwards with success, could you send me the required files so I could test
it on my system?
Is vlc the only opensource player to include a web plugin? I am surprised
that mplayer do not have such feature, considering the emulation of tons of
people around the mplayer project...
Kind Regards,
Pirlouwi.
