Hi,
I'm trying to develop a xbmc player for http streaming. To do this, the player download the file until x percent (a cache size), then play the movie.
My player is inherited from "xbmc.Player" class and works well for the moment. Now I would like to seek at any position. Si, I override the "onPlayBackSeek"method and do some stuff :
All of this case works for seeking. But for the first and the second solution, I start a new movie at the position 0, so I can't go to a previous position.
I would like to have all the time bar in the player and have the cursor at the expected position. Do you have any solution to seek at a position for a streaming via http ? And some code examples ?
Thanks a lot.

Code:
If we have downloaded enough to seek at the new position
We seek at the position with the inherited method.
Else
Depends on the host :
-If we can use 'Accept-Range' in the http header, use it to download at the expected position (We stop the current download and start a new download from the expected position, and start to play the video when the cache size is downloaded)
-else if we can add parameter in the http request, use it to download at the expected position (We stop the current download and start a new download from the expected position, and start to play the video when the cache size is downloaded)
-else we wait until we have download enough to seek at the new position. (Long solution)All of this case works for seeking. But for the first and the second solution, I start a new movie at the position 0, so I can't go to a previous position.
