I’m writing a plug in for thedailyshow.com (I know it’s on Hulu, but some people were asking for it) and I have it mostly working, except for the seek bar. It isn’t a simple one like Hulu but it has a slider on it and breaks to mark the commercials. Should I be using the “thumb” type? Am I defining the where the slider is by the color? Or what played? I can’t seem to get it to work right. Thanks!
