Re: [media-and-entertainment] Frame accurate seeking of HTML5 MediaElement

Wouldn't the user agent buffer the steam back to the last I-frame and render all the frames up to and past the edit point? It could optionally re-frame the steam to a non-variable rate, too.

Thanks!

Under the hoods, the page does that by setting `playbackRate` to some low value such as `0.1`, and the user agent is responsible for playing back the video at that speed.
