I am showing the video controls, using video.setShowControls(true);, but the user cannot drag it to a later time in the video. They can pause it just fine, they just cannot drag it to a later time. It ignores your "dragging". The videos, when I bring them up outside of my application, allows me to do this just fine. Here is an image showing what I am trying to drag:

The Vaadin frameworks resource serving for Video and Audio components do not support so called range requests out of the box. Thus dragging play position beyond fetched data wont work.
There are improved versions of the components available in the Directory for Vaadin 8, but unfortunately this add-on has not been backported to Vaadin 7.

There is similar question about Audio here: Vaadin Audio seek position
Seeking by dragging may work if the video file is hosted on an external server (depending on the specifics of that server), but not if it's served through Vaadin as e.g. a StreamResource.
