# AVPlayer seek improvement

## How AVPlayer's seek seems to work

During a seek using AVPlayer, moving from the position **A** to the position **B** will result in the passage of several intermediate positions, from **I0** to **In**.

All intermediate **I** positions are cancelled. In other words, the move from **I0** to **I1** will take place and **I1** will cancel **I0**, the move from **I1** to **I2** will take place and **I2** will cancel the intermediate seek **I1**, and so on. In the end, all intermediate positions will be cancelled and the effective seek will be from position A to position B.

## Smooth Seeking

> Smooth Seeking, a concept introduced and term borrowed from the [Pillarbox project](https://github.com/SRGSSR/pillarbox-apple), offers a more advanced implementation than the one presented in this project.

The Smooth Seeking consists to ignore unnecessary intermediate seeks. When seeking from position **A** to position **B**, all intermediate positions will not be performed, some of them will be ignored. In other words, if we are on intermediate position **I0**, until position **I0** is completed, intermediate positions between **I0** and **Ix** will be ignored.
