Does the upcoming Mythweb solution allow seeking the stream that's playing?
I've been looking for a clean solution to act like video-on-demand
(transcode on the fly, but allow seeking to any point), and VLC (which is
used by MythstreamTV) doesn't fully support that functionality within the
video player itself.  MythstreamTV comes close by using a separate web page
and on-the-server HTTP commands to cause the VLC process to seek, but it's a
bit clunky and slow to transition.  I'd love to find a great high-WAF
solution for this.

Thanks,

Josh
