Add seek support #37

Open mazkolain-zz opened 12 years ago

Add track seeking support to the streaming proxy.

CherryPy has a useful function called serve_fileobj(), that takes care of all partial content request stuff. The stream could implement a virtual file obj that takes care of translating requested ranges to seek calls to libspotify.

In my own language, does this mean the problem with seeking forward / backward is being fixed in future release?

Now... when i use the forward key in XBMC twice, it will skip the current (playing) track and start playing the next track. Maybe this isn't a big Issue for the main public, but i'm listening a lot of vinyl version tracks which have a long intro and outro and I appreciate it when this "seeking problem" can be fixed. Thanks in advance!

That's right.

When XBMC attempts a seek, the proxy server rejects this operation (as it's unimplemented), which in turn causes XBMC to skip to the next track.

Great! +1

For me this is the most important thing cause I do seek a LOT ;-) Looking forward to it.
