[mythtv-users] Internal video player - "fast forward" & video length

Thanks for the hint - I will try it.

I am curious - why does the internal video player need this seektable at 
all. All other video players I know of can skip through mpeg files 
without that. Is it just to make life easier and usually nobody uses it 
to play anything else than recorded shows?
