Maybe the Type should be Enhancement, not Defect. What do you think about this
anyway? Totem mozilla plugin is also behaving this way.

if video is streaming, I disable the seeking as generally mplayer doesn't do
that well. For media that is locally cached, the seeking is disabled until the
video starts playing and then you should be able to seek within the cached
amount.

Is there any way to enable the seeking on a streaming video? What do you think
about the colored progress bar idea, to show the cached video like in youtube?

Like I said, seeking in streaming video is disabled, mainly since when you try
to seek, mplayer makes you wait quite a long time when the seeking performed,
generally just as long as the amount you seek forward. Backward seeking is even
worse in some cases.
As for the colored progress bar, there was older code that did it and it was
taken out as people like the standard controls for the player.

I doubt that "people" don't like background color in the progress bar showing
how much of the video is in cache. Youtube is again a good example. And I like
the standard controls for the player, I don't suggest to change them.
BTW, I use mplayer (ubuntu maverick version) manually to watch streaming videos
and I don't have to wait when I seek forward/backward.

The standard widget GTKVScale, does not have a way to show that. I had copied
the youtube control bar and had that feature, but the general consensus was to
use an interface similar to totem, which does not have the capability.
As for seeking, it really depends on the site and the protocol. Some sites work
properly, some don't. So rather than have it broken, I disable it for true
streams.

SVN r1767 should have a patch it in to show the cache status. I was unaware of
the function to do this. Thanks for bringing this up.

Thanks to you. So, do you think this enhancement will make it to the 1.0 final
release?
