demux_mkv very long seek fix The seek code searching for the closest position in the index used "int64_t min_diff=0xFFFFFFFL" as the initial "further from the goal than any real alternative" value. The unit is milliseconds so seeks more than about 75 hours past the end of the file would fail to recognize the last index position as the best match. This was triggered in practice by chapter seek code which apparently uses a seek of 1000000000 seconds forward to mean "seek to the end". The practical effect was that trying to seek to the next chapter in a file without chapters made MPlayer block until it finished reading the file from the current position to the end. Fixed by increasing the initial value from FFFFFFF to FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF.

## Reading the MPlayer Documentation ##
#######################################

Thanks for reading MPlayer documentation !!!


1. For "release" version users (i.e. non-CVS):

   a, Enter the HTML/ directory, and there you'll find the documentation,
      each language in its own subdirectory.

   b, If you prefer reading the documentation as a single big file it 
      can be found in the HTML-single/ directory, each language in its 
      own subdirectory.

   c, If the HTML/ or HTML-single/ directories don't contain your language, 
      try the subdirectories in this very same folder.


2. For "development" version users (i.e. CVS or CVS snapshots):

   a, Enter the xml/ directory, and read the README file there to find
      out how to build a HTML version of the XML documentation. It will
      be created in the HTML/ and HTML-single/ directories.

   b, If the xml/ directory doesn't contain your language, try the
      subdirectories in this very same folder.
