The seek does not work: it pauses the video, then start from where it was, with some artifacts. The player control does not include the option to seek the video when playing the stream: so, yes, it does really looks like it is not supported. And I want to use streams to offer Video on Demand services. So trick play is a must if I want to equal the quality of service of playing a local file (else I would probably switch to HTTP progressive download.....). Tric play works not too bad on VLC (but VLC does not have yet VDPAU support, so I cannot use it....).
