Hi there guys,

Does any of you encountered problems while trying to seek on videos that are stored locally through jwplayer? It appears that i'm not able to seek through the videos that I have uploaded only after the video has been successfully downloaded.

I've tried it using apache with h264 module, and with litespeed server with the mp4 mime type configured correctly.

entry that usually allows seeking through the video at certain points of it, but no luck.
Although now that the videos start playing after buffering 1 MB, i'm able to seek through the buffered part only ( and this was achieved by moving the MOOV atom from the end of the converted mp4 files to the beggining of the mp4 container )... but not through the unbuffered part of it... and if I try to access a mp4 file directly through the browser with the following options it gets me to the video part i want...

Really Odd!

Hmm, yeah. I haven't really looked into that, as you know we planned this as social video sharing cms, but when I do, I'll let you know if I have a solution. Maybe sanishan can help, he's with video conversion and stuff.
