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.

Try preloading the page with PREFETCH=TRUE in the EMBED/OBJECT tag to see if
that allows you to call SetPosition w/out having to start the stream first
with DoPlay.  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.
