Well, it's only parts of the log. But the code in baseparse looks fine
to me - it will try to send the seek event as-is upstream first, and
only if that wasn't handled it will fall back to its own time->byte
conversion.

If there's an mpeg-ps file, the demuxer should handle the seek (or the
source). You need to check why that doesn't happen as expected.

In your log it looks like the duration query fails - this is not a good
sign generally - how do you expect an app to seek if you don't even
provide it with a seek range / duration estimate?

 Cheers
