hey Danill, awesome work on backporting it. makes me jealous of your C++ knowledge!

I've found XBMC team don't often check trac. On the other hand, i've seen github pull requests go through relatively fast.

Making a github pull request for your backport would -i reckon- get the patch picked up very quickly. https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pulls

My only concern is that they will be picky about the code (saying its not tidy enough or some such), but hopefully that shouldn't be too problematic as it is patch to ffmpeg not their xbmc code.

My C/C++ skills are pretty rusty, I haven't used it since I graduated from school and the job is mainly java and python, anyhow, the backport was easy, not much coding, mainly investigation and mapping the right method to the new code and merging, ofcourse the debugger made my life easy

I was not very familiar with github, to tell you the truth it's a pretty cool collaborative platform , this is the pull request I made 172 (PR) I hope it will get some attention.

I still need to figure out why megavideo/megaporn is not seeking correctly, but now that we have a 95% solution, do you know of any good quality FLV site we can use for tv shows/movies?
I love your icefilms plugin, the only issue (out of your control) is the lack of seeking, so it would be awesome if we can find a good quality flv streams similar to icefilms.

hey danill, yes github is great, i love it. i host all my repos at https://github.com/icefilms-xbmc if you want to take a look

Also, megaupload premium supports seek, and tiben20 has built a patch that progressive downloads to file, so that users can get some kind of pseudo-seek on streams that don't support seek.

My new project, which admittedly i have not begun real work on, is Videofalcon, which is a modular site framework (ie. it will support many sites) combined with metadata lookup / download and all the other nice icefilms features, along with a module videourlresolver (to resolve all the video urls)

It is kind of intended to be a unifier of all semi-legal on demand TV Show/Movie, flv or otherwise

If you are interested, you can read this thread

@anarchintosh

The fix has been accepted and committed into the master branch !!!
I am now switching focus to megavideo/megaporn to see why it's not seeking as expected.

As for Videofalcon , this looks like a awesome project and I will definitely like to contribute to the development efforts.

what does being committed to the master branch mean? does this mean if I upgrade the seek issue will be fixed?

[marlboroman1]

yes I got a nightly build yesterday and seeking skipping work great but you some might lose addon functionality apparently some addons are not compatible with pre Eden builds

[danillll]

This also works on non-Eden version, just backlist the changes to any version you want, pretty simple
