[MPlayer-users] MKV seek problem on Mac OSX

[Jonathan Hedrick]

Using a recent build from the CVS (9pm EST on Sat) I'm having  
problems seeking in .mkv files. I also had this problem w/  
yesterday's CVS build. What happens is when I try to seek through the  
file, the first 1-2 mins will be seek-able, and then I'll hit a  
"bumper" where I can't seek past a certain point. I know these are  
good .mkv files, because with an old build of MPlayer they are fine.

I reported this on #mplayerdev, and was told that a recent patch is  
probably to blame. AVI's and OGM's seek perfectly fine. Also I can  
specify a time to start the file with the -ss switch. However even if  
I start at 0:05:00 mins into the file, I'll hit the same 1-2min  
problem if I try to seek. MPlayer doesn't seem to output any errors  
concerning this to the console. And the MKVs _play_ perfectly fine.

I'm using Mac OS X 10.4.5, with gcc 4.0.1 (XCode 2.2). Any help or  
insight would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Jon
