Seek for http video url? - tinybutstrong - 2013-11-06
Dear folks, I'm using Bitcasa to host my whole movies library. It is reliable enough, except for the low download speed of their Windows desktop app. Compared to the web interface it is at least 3 time slower on my system, that makes a bad experience if the movie is a big file (8Gb+ in my case), causing several buffering pause. Looking for a solution, I did a curious test: shared to myself a movie file, then now I have a full http url. Something like:
Code:
https://my.bitcasa.com/download-send/6703d9b59c.../3219ed1fad5cb041...../Movie.mkvI just added the url to a playlist file .m3u and voilà, it is using almost all my connection speed (35Mbit) and now is rare to get the playback paused due to buffer thing. I also edited the .db SQLite for some items in library pointing to that playlist, working like a charm, except for am important limitation: you can't seek or resume playback from last point.
Is there any better way to add http item to XBMC? seek and resume is very essential to be discarded
Thanks

From my finding, it seems xbmc can't seek and resume on files bigger than 3gb via http streaming. Is this a known issues? I tried adjusting cache from the wiki instructions but did not work. Anyone have info about this?
