You have to send the current position. I don't think this is available
in live.com

If this isn't currently stored within vlc, storing it will be a
pre-requisite to getting the resume part of pause and resume working.

I can have a look at this.

For some vod servers, you send another PLAY command with a header which
indicates you want 12x speed for example (for forward), or -12x speed
(for rewind). If the vod server, from that point on, only sends vlc
selected frames (I suspect it only sends I-frames from that point, but
what is that likely to do to the bandwidth requirements), wouldn't
vlc play them just fine. It would basically be MJPEG.
