This question has been asked one year ago
1. skip forward/backward while watching the videos it takes a long time to do it and often it stops forever. Skipping with Youtube's flash player in their website it is very fast, you can arbitrarily skip to any time within the video and it does it almost instantly. So I feel that this should be possible to make it work the same way with the plugin.
Your answer was:
This is still a bug with xbmc's player core and affects all video plugins and playback of webstreams in general. Theres not really anything we can do about it, I suggest you create a trac ticket about it so that Team XBMC can fix it.
I can not remember any other plugin playing webstreams other than youtube plugin that has problems with time skipping. Must be something other than xbmc player. Navi-x youtube plugin doesn't have this problem. Could you look into this issue as it is really annoying no being able to continue interrupted playback other than starting from scratch. Thank you.
EDIT: Ok, I see that there are more players within xbmc. Plugins that use Dvdplayer have no skipping problem. Some plugins let's you choose player. Are you using mplayer? Can dvdplayer be used with youtube plugin? Could you add this choice?
