You can use GetMediaInputStatus to get the current playback time in milliseconds along with the playback status and the total length of the video.

Using this info just do a calculation on that data and then use SetMediaInputCursor to set the media source to that time. (Be aware of the keyframe interval of your video. As you'd ideally want to seek to a keyframe for eg 2 sec you'd want to seek to 2000,4000,6000....)

TriggerMediaInputAction can also be used to Play/Pause/Restart/Stop the media source. (If you plan on seeking frequently it's best to pause the source before doing so.)
