Example

In this example, web_stream_seek sets the position in the movie to 11 seconds.

web_stream_play("ID=1","Duration=10",LAST);
web_stream_seek("ID=1","TimeOffset=11",LAST);

// Play 10 more seconds starting at 11 seconds.
web_stream_play("ID=1","Duration=10",LAST);

In this example, web_stream_seek sets the position to the current position + 90 seconds. 

web_stream_seek("ID=1","RelativeOffset=90",LAST);

// Play 10 more seconds starting 90 seconds after the position before the seek.
web_stream_play("ID=1","Duration=10",LAST);
