How does DVDplayer extract info needed for navigating inside a file (skipping)

As per the problem described here: http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=...pid1851682 I don't understand if something could be done to request a specific range of bytes from Google Drive.

exactly like any other player - by reading or generating an index.

Yes, but that is not working. The file starts being downloaded from Google Drive, playback starts, everything is good. But seeking does not work. Which is strange, cause it works just fine when streaming from SMB.

Depends on the file format, the http headers returned by gdrive, and so on. http and smb are utterly different things. It isnt weird at all.

Which brings me back to the original question. How does XBMC generate or read the index for the different containers? Is that included straight from FFMPEG?

Would somebody be so kind as to point out where exactly should I be looking into source to have a better understading of this indexing mechanism?
Thank in advance. Smile

input -> demuxer -> decoders

DVDInputStreamXXX, DVDDemuxerXXX, DVDXXXCodec

indexing is usually a demuxer level thing, but for some stuff it might also partially sit in the decoder.
