Hi,
I have created a video plugin that plays a video on a http server. When I play a video from my plugin and use upper arrow to jump to 10 minutes ahead, I have to wait about 5mins. I looked what XBMC does when I hit upper arrow with a packet capture program. It looks like that XBMC tries to download 10 minutes of video then plays it. Since the server support HTTP range, I think it is better to use HTTP range instead of downloading.
How do I let XBMC send HTTP_RANGE variable to the server?
