no seek/position command in the rc interface?

[paulhuber]

when I run vlc playing a dvd, using the rc interface, title gets/sets the title, ditto for chapter, but with seek there seems to only be a way to set it. Seek 100 jumps to 100 seconds in the stream. But how do I find out what position I'm already at? unlike chapter/title, seek by itself doesn't report that information--it seeks to 0 instead. And I can't find a position command. The UI reports this info, so there must be away that I'm missing somehow...

Thanks for the help...

You can use the --rc-show-pos will display the current position (in percent) in the stream. Since this isn't likely to be sufficient, it wouldn't be hard to add a command to retrieve the current position, of the implement a seek +12 or seek -12 command (it's just that nobody needed it until now)

We are supposed to improve greatly the RC interface in vlc 0.8.5 (not before spring 2006). These commands should be included
