Seeking in transcoded videos on the Media Player app

Hi :slight_smile: I’m a developer of a DLNA/UPnP media server and I am trying to figure out how to enable support for seeking in transcoded videos on the Media Player app.

Seeking works perfectly for streaming videos - I can point the cursor and select any time. I think this is because the server is sending DLNA.ORG_OP=01 which enables seek-by-byte mode.

Seek-by-byte can’t work with transcoded video because we don’t know what the total bytes of the file will be. For other players, we send either DLNA.ORG_OP=10 or DLNA.ORG_OP=11 to enable seek-by-time for transcoded videos.

Any information about what the Media Player app expects to happen in that situation would be very helpful.
