How to avoid "Unable to seek across windows, falling back to in-window seeking"

[Aditya94A]

Why does this happen? How to avoid it? Is it just due to a corrupt file? Can it be fixed with ffmpeg?

[brianwernick]

From what I've seen it isn't anything wrong with the file, it's a timing issue where one of the windows hasn't been loaded yet and thus tells us it has unknown duration in which case we bail since there's no way to know which window will contain the requested position. You should only be seeing this if you are using something like the ConcatenatingMediaSource, if you aren't I'd be interested to know what your MediaSource setup is.

I've tagged this as a bug to indicate there may be something we can do to help offset the issue

Still seeing this same error. Doesn't seem to affect playback so I'm not entirely sure what is causing this.
