<br><br>mplayer, xine, etc... will play most files you throw at them and ffwd/rewind without issue. For the Internal player you have to make sure you have pre-built a seek table for each file otherwise it doesn't ffwd/rewind at all, or is very jumpy, and/or you get sound still playing while it does so. I think most people are put off straight away when that doesn't work and just switch to using an external player. Once that part gets automated I think more people will use it. On a side note, any idea why myth needs the seek table to be built when mplayer, xine, etc... don't have any problems at all? Only time I've been prompted by mplayer or xine to rebuld one (assuming that's the same thing) is if I have a slightly broken avi file. Aren't these stored in the file already?
