wm4 8ddfabc535 core: fix SEEK_FACTOR
Emulate percentage-seeks (SEEK_FACTOR) as normal time-seeks if possible.
This fixes some issues with (let's call it) low quality implementations
of SEEK_FACTOR (e.g. demux_mkv basically interprets this as byte-seek,
and also seeking to 99.9% makes it seek back to the start).

For weird MPEG formats the demuxer level SEEK_FACTOR is still used.
These formats, which can have timestamp resets, are identified by
setting demuxer->ts_resets_possible to true.

Also, have get_current_pos_ratio() follow the same rules, and calculate
the percentage position with the file position if timestamp resets are
possible.

This actually fixes percentage-seeks in .ts files with demux_lavf.c.
This kind of seek is not really used now, but it will be more important
when we add a progress bar.

Note: seeking in chained ogg files is still completely broken. The main
issue is that ffmpeg doesn't provide a sane API for dealing with
timestamp resets, and trying to do byte seeks with ogg confuses demuxer
and decoder (or something like this) and just does random things.
(Tested with two concatenated flac-in-ogg files).

mpv
###

Overview
========

**mpv** is a movie player based on MPlayer and mplayer2. It supports a wide
variety of video file formats, audio and video codecs, and subtitle types.

If you are wondering what's different from mplayer2 and MPlayer you can read
more about the changes_.

Compilation
===========

Compiling with full features requires development files for several
external libraries. Below is a list of some important requirements. For
more information see the output of ``./configure --help`` for a list of options,
or look at the list of enabled and disabled features printed after running
``./configure``. If you think you have support for some feature installed
but configure fails to detect it, the file ``config.log`` may contain
information about the reasons for the failure.

Essential dependencies (incomplete list):

- gcc or clang
- X development headers (xlib, X extensions, libvdpau, libGL, libXv, ...)
- Audio output development headers (libasound, pulseaudio)
- fribidi, freetype, fontconfig development headers (for libass)
- libass
- FFmpeg libraries (libavutil libavcodec libavformat libswscale libpostproc)
- libjpeg
- libquvi if you want to play Youtube videos directly
- libx264 if you want to use encoding (has to be explicitly enabled when
  compiling ffmpeg)

Most of the above libraries are available in suitable versions on normal
Linux distributions. However FFmpeg is an exception (distro versions may be
too old to work at all or work well). For that reason you may want to use
the separately available build wrapper (mpv-build_) that first compiles FFmpeg
libraries and libass, and then compiles the player statically linked against
those.

If you are running Mac OSX and using homebrew we provide homebrew-mpv_, an up
to date formula that compiles mpv with sensible dependencies and defaults for
OSX.

Bug reports
===========

Please use the `issues tracker`_ provided by GitHub to send us bug reports or
feature requests.

Contributing
============

For small changes you can just send us pull requests through GitHub. For bigger
changes come and talk to us on IRC before you start working on them. It will
make code review easier for both parties later on.

Contacts
========
