Catch seek event - ololoe - 2013-07-28
Is there a way to do subj?
RE: Catch seek event - AddonScriptorDE - 2013-07-28
As you can see here, there is an onPlayBackSeek event...
RE: Catch seek event - ololoe - 2013-07-28
Can it be used from a service or from an usual plugin too?
Can I provide an URL to be opened on seeking instead of trying to seek a file from network?

Same as i told you a few days ago...

Sometimes XBMC can seek those videos by itself, sometimes not (like those in twitch archive).

Edit: I misread it first that its a swf parameter, but it directly affects the file size. So this should work via your seeking service script...

RE: Catch seek event - ololoe - 2013-07-29
That are files, not streams. And all files are non-conform in some kind because they are not intended by their hosters to be seeked online. Instead, maybe all players use the way I mentioned above.
For an example - go to twitch, find some stream archive and use this service to get archive urls (url have to begin with twitch.tv/b/ or twitch.tv/c/).

This is called "Flash Pseudo-Streaming". It is not a real standard and afaik not supported by XBMC.
Here is a Link

That's exactly what I mean. Can you add it? Otherwise flv players can seek - and XBMC not.
