player.seek() is not accurate

Current behavior

I’m trying to show a trimmed video by limiting currentTime in onProgress event. But when the video reaches a limit and I seek to the start time of trimmed video, player.seek(startTime) goes to the wrong position (slightly before the given time). for example If I seek to 1.79323 it seeks to 1.63343!

Reproduction steps

Just seek to a time and watch the play position

Expected behavior

It should seek to the desired time

Platform

Same issue on Android: it has an error of almost 6 seconds after seeking. accuracy parameter in player.seek doesn’t work.

I needed to show the exact time of the video to the user according to the sliding of the trim slider. I was facing a similar issue and I got to manage a workaround in my case. I hope it’s helpful to anyone facing a similar issue.

const [check, setCheck] = useState(true)
onProgress = {onProgress}

const onProgress = ({currentTime}) => {
    if (Math.round(currentTime) === 0 && checked) {
      if (player) {
        player.current.seek('jump to your desired value');
        setChecked(false);
      }
    }

   if (Math.round(currentTime) > 0) {
      if (checked) {
      } else {
        setChecked(true);
      }
    }
}
