Hello! There is a fix that enables seeking in youtube videos even if the youtube http server states that it doesn't support seeking. The fix can be found in stream/http.c at line ~735. Mplayer checks if the server name is "gvs 1.0" and then enables seeking. But this doesn't work for me. I think because the youtube server changed its name. But wouldn't it be better to make a command line option for this instead of checking for a list of server names? (Something like -ForceEnableSeeking) I think (but don't know) that would be a rather small implementation and the good thing is, that it wouldn't need any further adjustments if server names are changing. Best regards Simon
