Description

Hello

Thanks for your excellent work. I can play a live stream and vod stream without any problems, but I cant figure out how to seek backwards into a live stream. We use a wowza server and have verified the DVR live setup with another videoplayer, but How do I do it in the player for flashls? Is it a query-param in the m3u8 stream (like ...m3u8?DVR&starttime=xxxxx) or do I use hls.seek(xxxx) with an UTC time or something else?

Keep up the great work

Research direction

Start by reviewing the flashls player API and its handling of live m3u8 streams, focusing on the seeking behavior described for Wowza DVR streams. Compare the possible query-parameter and hls.seek approaches mentioned in the issue, and establish whether live backward seeking is supported and how it should be used.
