fix scrubber - downloadbar offset (substracting meta size?)

Description

Just trying 4.0 with lighttpd and mod_h264_streaming.

When clicking into a not-yet-downloaded section of an mp4, it seems the download progress bar has some sort of horizontal shift error? Its more severe for other mp4s I have (possibly those with more sparse keyframes?) - this pic  http://i32.tinypic.com/2ppwvx2.png is a screen grab just after a scrub and the movie starting to play (its the 42MB trailer that 264 code shop uses).

I don't see this problem on any of my flv files.

Just curious if anyone else sees this problem, as it could be an issue with the mp4s I've tried, or with my player invocation.

Thanks, Mark

Problem here is the size of the metadata (the MOOV ATOM). It's so large that the playhead position isn't aligned with the byteposition of the video anymore. Unfortunately, there's no way to tell how large the metadata is (not published to Flash). I -could- do tricks such as extending the downloadbar anyway, but that'd be aesthetic. I'd rather search further for a better solution...
