In terms of dlna servers, two headers provide information which indicates if
content is seekable:  Range and TimeSeekRange.dlna.org.  When determining if a
server supports seeking (IMHO), it should not be dependent on encoding scheme
(streaming vs chunked), but the responses received in the HEAD request for
these two headers.  I would suggest issuing a HEAD request with Range: bytes=0-
and a dlna.org.TimeSeekRange: npt=0-.  The server will return either or both,
something like: 
content-range: 0-168042671/168042672
TimeSeekRange.DLNA.org: npt=0-69/69 bytes=0-168042671/168042672.
