Seek bar use is not smooth for some medias #35

Closed defagos closed 5 years ago

When playing Big Buck Bunny with SRG MediaPlayer, using the slider during playback is cumbersome. This is not the case with the iOS built-in AVPlayerViewController.

The problem disappears after the media has been entirely buffered.

This is due to seeking happening while tracking (if seekingDuringTracking is set to NO, this issue disappears). We could probably implement a smarter way of triggering seeking while tracking.

Apple greatly improved the situation with iOS 12, also on slower devices (tested with an iPhone 5S). Seeking is now smoother than ever.
