Video time advancing not working on Google Photos #209

Closed Megarushing closed 3 years ago

Describe the bug When using Google Drive integration it is possible to play videos and skip to time frames not buffered yet, in the google photos integration it is also possible to play videos, but if we try to skip the time, or resume play from a specific timestamp, the video ends as if completed, it is necessary to wait for buffering into that area.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Go to 'Pictures' > Picture add-ons > Google Drive > Your Account > Google Photos
  2. Find and play any long video
  3. Skip to the middle of the video
  4. Video closes as if completed

This is a limitation in the Google Photos API. Downloads with byte range parameter is not supported. Nothing the addon can do about it.
