cannot seek at certain point in video in chrome

[vcombey]

video_reference.current.currentTime = 560 on my video cause the video to load indefinitely but the video plays well from the beginning. It occurs on chrome, firefox is fine.

                playerOptions = {
                    preload: 'auto',
                    sources: [{
                        type: 'application/x-mpegURL',
                        src: '**.m3u8'
                    }],

                }
            var player = videojs(video_reference.current, playerOptions, function(this: any) {
                this.on('loadedmetadata', function() {
                        video_reference.current.currentTime = 560
                })
            })

I expect the video to be seekable anywhere or at lest that the player chose the most near seekable position and not load indefinitely

videojs version: 7.10.2 browser chrome

There's sometimes an issue with seeking if the segment durations declared in the manifest differ from the actual durations, but that would likely be the same in Firefox as Chrome. Hard to say much without an actual example.

Also rather than video_reference.current.currentTime = 560, try using the Video.js API player.currentTime(560).
