Vedio in video tag can not seek

• Component: Media
• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

[Jim Huang]

As the video control bar has the slide, when pointing to a position with clicking or dragging the slide bar to a position, nothing happens.
Is there any patch for that?

First, this page is not testable because it points to a file on a local disk:

 <video  src = "file:///D:\share\sports-source-cropped.avi" width="720" height="576"  
		onended="on_ended()" controls >
</video>

In any case I suspect that the problem is with the codec(s) used in that AVI file. 

Not all WebKit ports support AVI files at all. Apple's ports of WebKit support some AVI files, but we consider AVI a legacy format and aren't likely to uses resources to enhance our support of it.

Seems new Webkit use the MediaPlayerPrivateQt.cpp in src\3rdparty\webkit\WebCore\platform\graphics\qt; but in QT Webkit always use MediaPlayerPrivatePhonon.cpp. did i delivery wrong Component?
