The file you were referring to in your previous thread had problems
with ffplay, right? Did it show those "error while seeking" issues
while you were actually seeking?

In my experience, there can be files which decode just fine straight
through, but expose issues while seeking, for reasons not known to me.

So while your file decodes fine with ffmpeg:

> ~/Videos$ ffmpeg -v error -i Bandit\ Bashing\ –\ Kenshi\ Gameplay\ –\
> Let\'s\ Play\ Part\ 2-9Jomgc8Ui0E.mp4 -f null - 2>error.log
> 
> ~/Videos$ cat error.log
> ~/Videos$

it may show trouble when trying to just back and forward.

Just my experience, nothing I can help you with.
