Huh that is weird.  I happen to have the iPad sitting down here by me so I
just tried it again.  Our Kindle 8.9" gets used much more so wanted to
double check.  I am still able to skip all around an in progress transcode.
 When I first hit play it starts at the current transcode point since it is
a "Live" video stream, but I am able to rewind/skip around all I want.
 Since it is a iPad 1 am stuck on 5.1.1 but I wouldn't think that should
change in newer versions.  Also I would assume the player that Torc is
presenting is the same built in player that safari is using so that should
not make a difference.  I am on .26 now (may have been on .25.3 when I did
all the testing I don't remember)  so that is in the same.

Anyone else have results on a newer iPad they can report?
