Long seeking time

[mahmutbayri]

First, your plugin and supports are great.

I did some test to compare the plugin with another HLS plugin at (https://github.com/mangui/HLSprovider). Test page is http://streambox.fr/HLSProvider/osmf/StrobeMediaPlayback.html. HLSprovider seeking time is very short but it has some problem using with OSMF. Do you plan to decrease seeking time?

My settings are

HLSSettings.hlsBufferSizePause = 10;
HLSSettings.hlsBufferSizeDef = 5;
HLSSettings.hlsBufferSizeBig = 20;

i have tested with HLSTestPlayer sub project and many files. Almost time HLSprovider has faster seeking time.

Thanks

Yes, I did :-)

Also experiencing quite long seeking time in Grind Player.

The FlasHLS has almost instant seeking with HLS and OSMF, but is missing a feature we need. Perhaps it gives inspiration on how to improve seeking in this plugin?

Please provide a test stream to check the issue

This playlist has quite long seeking times, especially with the higher bitrates. FlasHLS seeks it without any delay on all the bitrates.

I have tested many cases, seeking times in FlasHLS is always faster than osmf-hls-plugin. But osmf-hls-plugin is more compatiable with OSMF. It would be great if seeking times problem is resolved.

Thanks.
