 to reproduce this, go to http://revision3.com/diggnation, click on one
 of the episodes, then click on one of the video file links under
 Download This Episode.
 
 for the quicktime video, the slider will progress as the video plays,
 but nothing happens when the slider is moved.
 
 for the wmv video, the slider will also progress as the video plays, but
 playback is stopped if it is moved.
 
 for the xvid video, the slider is unmovable.
 
 for the mp3 file, the slider is also unmovable.
 
 the user should be able to use the slider to seek within videos as they 
 play (it might make sense to gray out the part of the slider that has
 yet to download).

There are several upstream bugs about this. 361793 is about feedback,
and using the slider to show this. 524771 is about seeking in streaming
videos (seems to be GStreamer specific), the bug mentions Flash videos
specifically, but from a duplicate bug it seems to also be about
streaming in general.

434027 is also about seeking problems in streaming videos. It seems to
be the best match for what you describe above. It's set as NEEDINFO so
you should probably add your examples in a comment.

Bug#489467: totem-mozilla: cannot seek during video playback

[Michael Gilbert]

Package: totem-mozilla
Version: 2.22.2-3
Severity: normal

when totem-mozilla plays audio or video files within mozilla, the seek 
slider widget does not work correctly.

to reproduce this, go to http://revision3.com/diggnation, click on one
of the episodes, then click on one of the video file links under
Download This Episode.

for the quicktime video, the slider will progress as the video plays,
but nothing happens when the slider is moved.

for the wmv video, the slider will also progress as the video plays, but
playback is stopped if it is moved.

for the xvid video, the slider is unmovable.

for the mp3 file, the slider is also unmovable.

the user should be able to use the slider to seek within videos as they 
play (it might make sense to gray out the part of the slider that has
yet to download).

thanks for the hard work.
