title: Seek and reverse seek in a VLCJ application
body: <p>I am &quot;seeking&quot; the ability to seek forward and backwards on a video being played under vlcj. Information found in the documentation for vlcj API apparently refers to methods that no longer exist.</p>
  <p>Is there still a way to do a forward and reverse seek on a video being played by vlcj? If so, how is this done?</p>
  <p>Edit to answer questions asked by Slaw below:</p>
  <ol>
  <li><p>I am using VLCJ 4.7.3, with vlcj-javafx V1.1.0.</p>
  </li>
  <li><p>On the site:
  <a href="https://www.tabnine.com/code/java/methods/uk.co.caprica.vlcj.player.MediaPlayer/seek" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://www.tabnine.com/code/java/methods/uk.co.caprica.vlcj.player.MediaPlayer/seek</a></p>
  </li>
  </ol>
  <p>there are several references to a seek() function provided by the MediaPlayer class. That function does not exist in the current vlcj.</p>
  <ol start="3">
  <li><p>On a tutorial provided by TutorialsPoint at:</p>
  <p><a href="https://www.tutorialspoint.com/vlcj/vlcj_seek.htm" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://www.tutorialspoint.com/vlcj/vlcj_seek.htm</a></p>
  </li>
  </ol>
  <p>there is a reference to a function called</p>
  <pre><code>mediaPlayer().controls().skipWhile();
  </code></pre>
  <p>which not only does not exist in the current vlcj that I am using, but is not actually used in the seek example program provided below the referance!</p>
