If Nico hadn't answered that quick my first suggestion would have been to try a version that's not three years old. There have been made only a few thousand improvements by then, perhaps some of them affect your seeking issue. And, you say seeking worked, just not as smooth as you would like it to be... I agree, streaming is important and MPlayer should do it. But it does, doesn't it? I'm used to watch streams starting at the beginning, then moving forward in real-time-speed, until the end. In few cases I pause the stream of rewind a few minutes, but I'm content if it just works, I don't mind a little pause nor some seconds with artifacts. I think they're funny. If I have to jump instantly to a certain point within a video, I don't use a stream but a file in MJPEG or similar coding. Greets, Kiste
