I’ve made a html5 video player, and I’ve noticed that the seeking times are freakishly long if the current video playing is somewhat large.

The closer towards the end I seek, the longer the seeking time; independent on if I’ve been there before/how close to the point I am in the current time or if I’ve buffered the whole video.

This can take as much as 15 seconds on a slow browser with a 1080p video when I seek to about 2 minutes into the video.

Is this normal or have I done something horribly wrong? and can I do something about it

Thanks

    On which browser? Different browsers support different video formats and codecs.
    Also, the HTML5 video element use GPU hardware acceleration so the performances are really dependant on the hardware
