Can't fast forward in a MP4

Postby jimmyscab » 02 Aug 2008 12:51

Im pretty sure this was working fine before. It suddenly stopped working. After you go to a certain point (40mins in?), you cannot go past it, the video just hangs.

I downloaded the Nightly Build and it works there but that has its own bugs.

Is the fast forward time equal to computer uptime perhaps? This has been fixed in nightlies and there won't prolly be a fix for 0.8.6 so either wait or use nightlies :D

Hello.

What do you mean by computer uptime?

:shock:

Thats what I thought. But how can the computer uptime be linked with fast forwarding a video file? :lol:
