There are several limitations with the current implementation of video playback in Godot:

- Seeking a video to a certain point is not supported.
- Changing playback speed is not supported. VideoStreamPlayer also won't follow
:ref:`Engine.time_scale<class_Engine_property_time_scale>`.
- Streaming a video from a URL is not supported.
- Only mono and stereo audio output is supported.
- Only mono and stereo audio output is supported. Videos with 4, 5.1 and 7.1
audio channels are supported but down-mixed to stereo.

.. note::

Higher GOP sizes will increase max seek times with a sudden increase when
going beyond powers of two starting at ``64``. Max seek times with GOP size
``65`` can be almost twice as long as with GOP size ``64``, depending on
decoding speed.
