           Summary: Click on unloaded position in <video> to preload from
                    that point
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Macintosh Intel
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.6
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Enhancement
          Priority: P4
         Component: New Bugs
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: rodger.combs at gmail.com


Most Flash-based media players of the internet (YouTube, MegaVideo, JW Player...) support jumping to a point in a video that hasn't been loaded yet, and automatically loading from that point. This feature isn't present in the HTML5 <video> player, and this lack-of-a-feature is crippling when viewing long videos in the HTML5 <video> tag. Could this feature be added?
