Hi, would you be so kind as to help me understand exactly what happens with these "override player playback" functions?

Concerning the streaming original files option, I stress once more the fact that files should have the seek info in their header but that, having gotten hold of the header, XBMC should be more than capable of asking pieces of info far ahead in the file, and Drive API seems to support that. You could cache the header and handle seeking through that, maybe?
