I was actually going to post about this... I've tried everything I can
to get seeking to work in my movie rips, to no avail. I saw a post
recently that mentioned it's necessary to run 'mythcommflag --video'
with the *full* path of the video file (rather than the path relative
to the video dir). I've tried both ways, and while the results were
different, neither was a success. I've verified that the movies have
seektables in the 'filemarkup' table. At best, what seems to be
happening is that the video seeks properly, but the audio doesn't, so
the video freezes until the audio catches up. I'm not sure if that's
actually what's happening, but that's the appearance it gives. I
should mention that most of my movies are XviD AVIs (most produced by
MythDVD, some by DVD::Rip), as I seem to recall that AVI seeking was
less mature than some other kinds.
I'd be happy to do anything necessary to help debug this.
