A number of XC players, tivimate for example, support seeking forward when playing an XC catch-up stream.

I think they do that by changing the start time when the user skips forward, is this kind of implementation possible?

I suspect it might not be as jellyfin is seeing catch-up as a live stream. I'm which case maybe this functionality could be somewhat replicated by allowing the option to download a catch-up stream to the jellyfin host.

Just to add to this, if I connect Kodi to jelyfin using the jellyfin plugin, I can skip forward in catch-up streams with no issues at all. So they file itself is skippable. I assume the plugin is presenting catch-up streams to jellyfin as if they were live TV, would it be possible to present them as shows to allow this?
