Description
The event fires when the user seeks ahead in the video when using the player's UI controls; however, when the player is forced to seek ahead through the API (player.sendEvent("SEEK", 100)) the player does not fire the SEEK event.

Most of the media-related controllerevents are no longer possible to detect in the player, since the controller now relies on synchronous calls, not events, to direct traffic. Most ControllerEvents can be simulated, but since there's no MediaProvider response to a seek() call, this isn't possible for ControllerEvent.SEEK.
