Hey folks,
I've got a question relating to something that we can't do on any of our scripts, that can be done, with certain media types, when streaming from browsers.
Basically it's starting in the middle of a stream, or fast forwarding sections of it.
The example that springs to mind is the BBC's radio player at http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio
The applet there remembers your position the last time you listened (this isn't really the point as not necessarily bookmarking we're going for) but it starts buffering and playing from that point.
Not only that you've got buttons that will let you jump 1 minute, 5 minutes, or 15 minutes ahead. It quickly rebuffers then starts playing.
The bbc's site opperates using realplayer and scripts utilising it have been up and running on XBMC for ages....
Are we technically missing something that would allow us to do this? (it makes a real difference to those of us listening to radio shows that don't have time to listen to it all in one go).
