So you want to do VOD with the RTSP protocol? gst-rtsp-server should be
able to do whatever you want, and seeking should be possible to be
implemented for non-shared media factories quite easily. Please create a
feature request for that in Bugzilla.

Otherwise you also have the options of many other streaming protocols.
DASH is the new thing these days, and you can use gst-streaming-server
for that for example. Or implement your own server around the MP4 muxer
and related elements.
