Re: [MSE] Issue on seeking from the end time position

Hi,

This sounds like a bug in the MSE implementation. I'm assuming you are
seeing this in Chrome, so please file a bug at http://crbug.com/ . Please
include the version of Chrome, a simple page that reproduces the problem,
and assign the Cr-Internals-Media-Source label to the bug.

Further discussion of this particular issue should probably not happen on
this list. The seeking behavior should not be effected by where the seek
was initiated from. The steps in the spec outline what the proper behavior
should be, if Chrome isn't following the spec in this case, then we'll fix
the implementation. Thanks for bringing the issue to my attention.
