The VideoLAN Forums

Do any of the streaming options allow the client to control fast forward, rewind, position in the file, etc?

I would like my client to be able to pause or jump around in the video. Is that possible?

I wrote a PHP script that does this using the HTTP interface.
Basically it issues commands such as this:
http://localhost:8081/?control=seek&seek_value=%2D1min

which will rewind 1 minute.

http://localhost:8081/?control=pause

will pause/unpause the playback.

of course replace localhost with the location of the streaming server that is running with an http interface or extra interface.
