why does jwplayer v.5 support seeking with audio files (mp3) and v.6 does not?
i have been using an older version of jwplayer (5.10.2295) and just looked to upgrade to the latest version (6+).
reading through the notes on this site i see that version 6 does not support seeking forwards/backwards without using a streaming protocol like rtmp. why then, is version 5 of the player capable of supporting this feature without using any streaming protocol?
i am able to seek forwards and backwards when playing an mp3 here, just fine with version 5.
am i missing something?!
thanks
