Whether seeking over http will work depends mostly on (a) the type of
stream/file (live broadcast, static file download?) (b) the server (does
it support seeking, does it supply the content length?) (c) the
demuxer/parser in question (ie. the file format of the stream).

So hard to say more without more information.
