Seeking fails sometimes #154

Closed blackketter closed 8 years ago

blackketter commented 8 years ago

When I load a web page with an embedded video, sometimes I when drag the slider to a position in the video and the video will not appropriately seek and display the image for that time.

If I then click on the play button, I can drag the slider and it will update.

I can't reproduce this 100% of the time, even with the same video and reloading the page. It may be that the preload of a video isn't working properly (I do have that setting turned on.)

This isn't under CTP's control. This may just be an instance of WebKit actually following the HTML specification. For instance, the seeking algorithm aborts if not enough of the video has been downloaded: http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec-preview/media-elements.html#seeking
