I am using video to display on screen. The code requires capability to start at any location. I have used seekTo but the video restarts some distance from the required position, possibly the nearest key frame.  
Elsewhere I can use a secondary parameter such as SEEK\_ CLOSEST\_SYNC or SEEK\_NEXT\_SYNC SEEK\_PREVIOUS\_SYNC but it doesn’t seem to work in Processing for  
Android. Any ideas if it is possible?
