[FFmpeg-user] Does the fast and accurate seeking work on rtmps streams ( used for resuming download ) ?

[Renato Santos]

Can't you use segment output format and do a "never end" recoding process
that write a lot of precise duration files?

The only thing is,, if you output in (dot)ts you may lose some frames, but
if you re_encode in something again (and force Keyframes) You can split the
stream easy
