time slider not work with .ts videos the come-back

Hi,
I found some posts about the time slider and jump control, but none seems to correspond exactly to my problem.
The problem is with video which size is growing during playing : the slider and times (elapsed/total/remaining) are not relevant.
Here is an example:
I use to record tv show and play them with a small delay. When there is advertising I use the slider to jump forward. This was possible with version 1.1.10-git-20110511 because the slider seemed to recalculate it's position in respect to the new size of the video. The problem (but not for me...) was that all the times (elapsed/total/remaining) were set to 00:00:00.
Now, with versions 2.0 or 2.1 the total-time is set to the one calculated at the opening and don't change. So the slider position depends on this "fake" time. It means that if I have 10minutes delayed, after 10 minutes of viewing, the slider is at the end of it's run. So I can't do any jump forward (with the slider). Furthermore, the time remaining is negative!
I tried to put the "jump forward" button on the interface, but I don't find that very convenient.
Suprisingly, with this jump button, I found out that if I reached the "real" end of the vidéo (meaning that I came back to "live show"), so cursor and times (elapsed/total/remaining) came back to the "old" behaviour of the 1.1 version.
I think it would be great if the slider behaviour could comme back to the "old" one, because it was really easier to control the video.
