Video:seek() doesn't appear to work in reverse

[NotExplosive]

When I use seek() on a video to playback a part of the video I already saw, it doesn't appear to work. What happens is the audio resets to the correct point, but the video playback freezes. Usually it unfreezes once the audio catches back up to where the video moved from.

Anyone else seen this? Is there a workaround?

Same issue here! I'm trying to map the mouse position to a number of seconds, to scrub through a video. It works, as long as I keep moving the mouse to the right. If I move the mouse to the left at all, the video stops playing until I move it past the play point again.

Code: Select all

function love.load()
    video = love.graphics.newVideo("movie.ogg") -- 30 sec
    video:play()
    w = love.graphics.getWidth()
end

function love.draw()
    love.graphics.draw(video, 0, 0)
end

function map(x, in_min, in_max, out_min, out_max)
  return (x - in_min) * (out_max - out_min) / (in_max - in_min) + out_min;
end

function love.mousemoved( x, y, dx, dy, istouch )
  secs = map(x, 0, w, 0, 30)
  video:seek(secs)
  video:play()
end
