OGM seeking

[koi_desi_pagal]

new ver of vlc~ woot~
go devs!

okay, now here's my latest whinge/request: seeking support being fixed up in ogm files... I find that with alot of ogm files i have (in fact... all iirc) tend not to seek properly. If i use the "forward 10 seconds" option, it goes to the 10 second mark, and if i use the "back 10 seconds" option, it goes all the back back to the start of the video. i hope this is just a minor glitch and is easy to fix... but thanks heaps on the great work ^_^

my only other bugbear atm is pausable subtitles, but i've seen that requested already and has been addressed by a dev.

thx again,

Yeah, that's really annoying, but sounds like it should be easy to fix.

There are only 3 things that annoy me with vlc, otherwise it is a very good player.

1) OGG seeking. A ogm file with video and sound streams won't seek properly. This is most annoying as i have to get out of fullscreen, grab the mouse, and drag the seekbar. *very* annoying.

2) Bad SSA support. Substation Alpha subtitles are hard to make sense of when they all stack up on one another.

3) Random crashes with playlist operation. I set up a playlist and it seems to crash when going to other files. I only experienced the crashes with DivX videos but they do play normally if i open them directly, only crashing if they are auto-advanced by the playlist.

however as of the latest build numbers 2 & 3 have been fixed! This leaves only the popular opensource container format seek support. I found it strange that mkv's are supported better than Ogg's, but then again i have no clue about the underlying reasons. I just thought that i'd like to say thanks for working on such a good player, and encouraging you to look at this if you haven't already.

Does this patch fix the seeking problem, or is it something else?

default VLC builds don't use ffmpeg to decode ogg (i'm 99% sure) so i doubt that it'll fix it

I also have ogm files and can confirm koi_desi_pagal's seeking problems.
It's OS indipendent. Find tested it on Windows and me on OSX both the same.

In fact it's only the container that messes up. One files having DivX video, OGM audio and SRT subtitle bugs with OGM but muxing same files to a MKV and seeking works like a charm.

Zoomplayer under Windows and MPlayer (tested in ffmpegX) do not have such problems...

I really hope you gonna fix that because the problem is really annoying...
