pseudostreaming: loads of start requests while dragging scrubber #630

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

When you drag the scrubber with pseudostreaming loads of - unneeded? - requests 
are made, which often end up pending - causing potential problems with slowing 
down and unreliability.

See: http://flowplayer.org/forum/5/102922
and: http://imagebin.org/225704

Investigate whether these are really required for:
a) supporting our API events (arguments to on(Before)Seek I guess)
b) updating the video image in paused state

If they are indeed required, turn this into a feature request for an option to 
turn them off and only make the start request when the scrubber is in fact 
mouse-released.

Addendum: If you compare with youtube, they get by with a lot less requests and 
"plugin canceled" warnings.

I clearly remember at one stage it was a requirement to keep requesting frames 
while seeking, now not ? This is a controlbar problem as it needs to seek on 
drop not drag now right ?

It now won't seek during silent seek events which is when the controlbar is 
dragging. 

There is now some freaky things happening with the dragger but working on that.

Thanks! I just tested and it worked.
Regarding showing video images when dragging, are you considering fetching one 
frame-rate of the video when dragging the scrubber (e.g. for a minimal interval 
of 0.5 seconds)?

Hi it now does not seek until the dragger is dropped so no.
