Hi,
I am using libvlc version 2.1.6,video stucks for long time while seeking forward using the libvlc_media_player_set_position API,video comes back approximately after 2 minutes .
Is their anyway to get rid of the this issue ?

console log on Seeking Forward :
vcodec decoder error: more than 5 seconds of late video -> dropping frame (computer too slow ?)

Hi,

I had the same problem where the audo was playing after seeking, but the display got stuck when playing files. I fixed it by setting the file caching option to 5 seconds (--file-caching=5000). Hope it helps you

Is their any better way to fix this issue other than changing the file caching ?
And one more major issue is while seeking the media Rewind ,the display stucks for longer time than Forward .
Can anyone suggest me why Rewind takes more time to recover the video display .
