Description effco 2005-11-10 20:37:46 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.4.2)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

Wished feature from Amarok wish :
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=115822

Would it be possible for KIO to support streaming over remote interfaces ?
Comment 1 Mark Kretschmann 2005-11-10 20:55:14 UTC 
Erm, I assume you mean seeking, right?
Comment 2 effco 2005-11-10 20:59:35 UTC 
Yes, I mean seeking.

Currently it seems you can't skip the beginning of the audio file and go directly to the 15th minute of a M3U streaming file.
Comment 3 Thiago Macieira 2005-11-11 02:34:49 UTC 
Changing the summary to better reflect it is a with.
Comment 4 Anders E. Andersen 2006-05-03 10:41:46 UTC 
This has been requested before.

See bug #72302

It was determined that seeking could be implemented using existing calls, though the solution is not super streamlined.

Hi folks,

Wasn't this implemented ages ago? If so we could close this bug. :)
Comment 7 Anders E. Andersen 2007-10-25 13:13:40 UTC 
No, not that I know of. You can do gets with a starting point into the files with HTML slaves but it is very cumbersome and it doesn't work for other kinds of slaves. Please see #72302.

You can do random seeking on files in KDE4 using the FileJob class:

This is a relatively new feature, and currently only Phonon is using it:

Yep, carewolf implemented this for kde4.
