    SMP Seek issue

      Hi all,

       

      I now have an OSMF based player that is working quite good but we'd like to change to StrobeMediaPlayback because it has a lot of features out of the box.

      I've tested the player but I've not been able to deep check the code.

      All seems to be working fine except one thing; the SeekBar.

       

      With "not working" I mean that the default behaviour of SMP -or at least in my version- is to not seek until the seeking target is loaded.

      This is fine for short or low qty videos. But this behaviour becomes a nightmare for long or high qty videos.

       

      For now, I'm testing with an .mp4 video and the streaming protocol is HTTP (no dynamic streaming, rtmp or live issue).

      I've seen a lot of SMP modified players that can seek anywhere and doesn't matter if video is fully loaded or not.

       

      So the question is, how SMP manages the seeking logic? Can I seek beyond loaded/buffer time in the scrub bar? Does it by default or I have to code it?

      And for more information, where is the code/logic for the controlbar elements -play, pause, seek, fullscreen, etc...-?
      I've been looking around the code but found nothing clear.

       

      Thanks a lot,

      Adrian.

          I have similar issue. I setup IIS8 media service to serve mp4, flv and f4v files, using SMP as client. But it can only seek what is already downloaded. It's weird because the built-in HTML5 players of browsers already support to seek mp4 files.
