Accuracy of MediaPlayer.seekTo(int msecs)

Question

Why is MediaPlayer.seekTo(int msec) so inaccurate?

It\'s sometimes 30 seconds early (with mp3\'s of both variable and constant bitrates)! Is seeking wit

Answer 1

i dont know anything about android. But i know that in most of media file format there is a one provision that called seek entries or cues entry.. that shows for this particular time from here video & audio should be start to play

if below time has cues entry 10 sec
12 sec
14 sec

then if you seek to 11 sec then it will always play from 10 second if you seek to 12 sec then it will always play from 12 second

for better seek file should be muxed with high cues entry..
