The VideoLAN Forums

Hi dear VLC-Fellows.

Please excuse my bad english, im not a native speaker.

My problem is the following one. I know it is possible to watch and navigate a video using VLC while its being downloaded. I saw the navigation bar being frequently updated and allows to navigate the timeline.
Now to my situation. There is a videostream, provided by a server in 10 second peaces in form of
http://50.7.85.162/video/dKUnnPlCvapkvG ... 4710835.ts
http://50.7.85.162/video/dKUnnPlCvapkvG ... 4710836.ts
http://50.7.85.162/video/dKUnnPlCvapkvG ... 4710837.ts
and so on(the links are working, you can try out and see what a mean).
The used videocodec is according to mediainfo AVC(component)(Main@L3.0)(CABAC/ 1 Ref Frames)

Now i attempt to play it in some reasonable way in VLC. The stream contains an (almost)-live-stream of a TV-Channel, so it constantly adding new timepeaces, i.e. i want to watch it posibly closer to the Airing-Time, which means i cant just get a predefined playlist which can be downloaded in advance.

What i tried to do so far was: i was downloading say every minute 6 links like those above and stored them periodically in one file using wget. This file i can open with VLC and its reading the file correctly while new peaces comes up and being concatenated/added to the mail file, without interruption of some kind.
Problem here is, i cant navigate the video. It navigates only so far, as the length of the main video when its being started with VLC. Say, the file contains 20sec of video when starting it with VLC, so i can only navigate this 20sec.

I also tried leaving the parts separated and naming them like
Video.ts.001
Video.ts.002
Video.ts.003
and so on.
Problem here, VLC start reading them and can navigate them, but only those files, that are already in the folder when VLC was started, VLC doesnt see the new files being added to the folder.

So my question is, is there any way, i can watch that stream without interruptions and on the same time being able to navigate the video while its been downloaded?
Thanks for any help in advance.

I just found, VLC already offering a solution in advanced options, in Codecs --> Demuxer --> MPEG-TS.

Sorry for bothering. The topic can be closed.

One question i still have. While i am able to navigate using "Seek based on percent not time"(demuxer->TS), i wonder if there is a way to show at least the time that passed from beginning.
