Video seeking (rev/ff) is disabled?

[Viktikus 4]

Hi there.

 

Using MediaBrowser3 Server (feb-20-2014 install) with Media Browser Client on Lumia 1020 Black.

I tested this great system with some .avi files.

 

Why can not I use the Seek slider?

Why isn't seeking is supported with easy files like .avi?

 

All the system needs to give to the player is the framecount of the movie and sliderEvent will tell the Server at what position to start transcoding onwards. Works even with VLC, and here Server code is under dev's controll > evetrything is possible in .net 4.5.

 

 

Same goes to DVD videos!

That's not actually how it works, but getting seeking working in the Windows Phone app is high on my list of things to do.

[Viktikus 4]

Just tested  .ts mpeg2 (DVB) files on my Windows Phone 8 Black... Works, but the lack of skipping video to wanted section makes this quite useless.. I understand the workload, just wanted to say my wish...

 

[ScottIsAFool 517]

You can still resume if that's what your intention is. Before you start playing the video, tap the app bar and hit resume.

[Viktikus 4]

Ok, But I wish to wait for real reverse/forward possibilities. Comm breaks etc, resume may not always happen..

Transcoded iso is hit an miss with seek so while seek may come to windows phone it is no guarantee it will function 100 %.

I'm sorry, but ... I did not understand the message... 100% is understandable, but the rest was .... ?

So Rewinding / Fastworwarding .iso based DVD movies on Windows phone Client was the original target I was aiming.. .ts (mpeg2/mp4) & .avi (divx etc...) was also at the list to play..

Yep and i updated yesterday to the version with ff/rewind and those work just fine (For the videos that does not stop after X amount of seconds)

 

I seem to have it narrowed down to videos of Higher quality, Sponge Bob in SD works just fine but as soon as i try to play something of okayish < 720p (not to low bitrate it works fine)

 

Rest of the info is in the thread i linked just above you

Just updated the Server to ...35 (newest 2014-04-30) and the client to Windows Phone latest.

Finally with .ts files seek slider works!! Thank you!!!!
