There are several upstream bugs about this. 361793 is about feedback,
and using the slider to show this. 524771 is about seeking in streaming
videos (seems to be GStreamer specific), the bug mentions Flash videos
specifically, but from a duplicate bug it seems to also be about
streaming in general.

434027 is also about seeking problems in streaming videos. It seems to
be the best match for what you describe above. It's set as NEEDINFO so
you should probably add your examples in a comment.
