#2057: [Patch] improves unreliable mythweb stream seeking
----------------------------------------------+-----------------------------

Type: patch | Status: new
Priority: minor | Milestone: unknown
Component: mythweb | Version: head
Severity: medium |
----------------------------------------------+-----------------------------
The streaming perl handler for requests to the streaming module uses the
standard buffered seek() and read() functions.
Requests take dramatically longer to seek the later they are in the stream
; after a certain point, seeking breaks and the player (mplayer on Win32)
returns end-of-file.
Changing the seek() and read() calls to the unbuffered sysseek() and
sysread() calls appears to improve this (can seek to end of film and seeks
take user-constant time as position in stream increases).
