[QUOTE="offbyone, post: 817374, member: 73415"] Reading Metadata from Stream alone will not be enough to allow skipping in streams from webservers. The file is not on you local hdd, so accessing it is a lot different and slower! to achieve this every filter in the graph must behave nicely (e.g. not do calls like skip to end in order to find the file length).

Currently we are writing such source filter - and it will be in the next release.
