[vlc-devel] Reposition using set time: what's the trick?

[jboileau]

I am trying to reposition my video stream (a divx movie in this case)
using libvlc_media_player_set_time but it is very jerky. Takes up to 5
seconds to jump to the new location. I have pasted the messages I get
below. This happens in my application using libvlc 0.9.0 but this does
not happen if I use the 0.9.0 vlc.exe. What is th trick? What does
vlc.exe does special to be able to jump quickly and smoothly using the
slider?
