From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Javascript SetPosition() hangs on buffering I just got through with this issue and here's what I found for the ActiveX control. If prefetch=true and you use SetPosition() when the user hits a button, the stream will jump to that point and pause. Then the user has to push play again.There seems to be no way to programmatically start the stream. If prefetch=false then DoPlay and SetPosition work fine, confirming the suspicion about PREFETCH, except that it works opposite what is stated below in this case.

The reason I think this will work is set position establishes the connection to the server immediately upon plugin load and also prefetches information about the stream. It is essentially like hitting play and then pausing the stream right before it begins.
