youtube "seek" not working

[thedaynos]

i've tried the following...

cast = next(cc for cc in chromecasts if cc.device.friendly_name=="my chromecast name")
cast.wait()
ytc=YouTubeController()
cast.register_handler(ytc1)

that works fine to get my chromecast.

then

ytc.play_video(vLink1)    #vLink1 is my variable for the video

this also works fine for me. I have no problem playing videos whenever i want.

my only problem is I cannot figure out the proper syntax after this to "seek" to 30 seconds.

I've seen a note from you that the following should work:

cast.media_controller.seek(30)

but that command does nothing for me when the video is playing. it just keeps playing as normal. It doesn't error out either though, which is confusing.

Any ideas?

Thanks

@thedaynos I think the media controller seek function works only with the default media player in chromecast. Youtube controller in this project relies on casttube (https://github.com/ur1katz/casttube) for creating a player session from the device, though casttube doesn't offer an api for the seek functionality.
