The patch makes seeking happen via server request instead of from the
cache. Not sure if it's smart enough to use cached data where
available though.

The start URL parameter contains a number. One problem though - the
only info I've found online about ffmpeg's "-ss" parameter suggest its
format is hh:mm:ss:cc, but the regex being used is "(\d+)$", which
won't match colons. Is a conversion needed in there?
