Progressive Netstream. Seek to a point not yet downloaded
I've written a video step carousel that allows you to slide through multiple videos and playback. Also integrated are a chapter system that allows for seeking to specific points in a currently playing video.
The issue obviously is inherent to progressive download vs streaming and that you cannot seek to a chapter time that has not yet been downloaded.
I remember (years back, prob as2 days) someone came up with a clever php hack that allowed you to do just this using progressive download but i can't find any docs on the subject.
Does anyone know of a way this is possible? The client does not have the resources necessary for hosting on an RTMP server so i'm looking for a workaround that doesn't require the entire video to be buffered before allowing seek to specific cue points.
Videos are around 5 mins in length each so not a huge amount of data to buffer but obviously takes a good 30 secs before the last chapter point is reached and thus, seekable.
Any ideas as always are much appreciated. Thanks
