Hi My question is about FLV Module NGINX documentation mentions that FLV module supports time-based offsets\* “This module provides the ability to seek within FLV (Flash) files using time-based offsets.”\* [http://wiki.nginx.org/HttpFlvStreamModule](http://wiki.nginx.org/HttpFlvStreamModule) When looking on the source code and some testing I could see that its supports byte-based offset Can you help me fill the gap Thanks a lot _Hagai A._ Qwilt | Work: +972-72-2221644| Mobile: +972-54-4895656 | removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid[removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid) ---

FLV pseudostreaming is always in bytes, not seconds (like MP4).
