Hi everybody,

I have a video player that doesnt have “seek from unloaded time” functionality. I want to add it now, but i am having headaches. Please help 🙂

I sipmly load video like this; **stream.play(“vidurl.flv”);** (pseudo streaming)  
Server side is ready. I can call videos like **videourl.flv?start=xxx** but cant play them in player cuz video comes without **metadata**

To sum up;

1. \*\*stream.play(“vidurl.flv”); \*\*works, video plays
2. user clicks to seek bar. on unloaded part. i get the position and convert it to seconds

**stream.play(“vidurl.flv?start=10”);** doesnt work! no metadata what i should do after?
