It didn't pause the video at 46s, is this a bug?

Hmm, not sure I get this. Do you mean that the URI scheme will be 
implemented on the video page URI, rather than on the video resource URI 
itself? Or does the flash player takes a Media Fragment URI as input? 
For the former, I thought we didn't consider this as an implementation 
of the spec (since you're applying media fragments to non-media resources).

Best regards,

Davy
