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, a concept introduced and term borrowed from the Pillarbox project, 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.
