Best way to save streaming video so that I can seek through it locally?

[Nuno Mota]

I'm not sure if this will help but here it goes.

I would suggest a live HLS m3u8 playlist with cache enabled. A medium
playlist span would provide seek capabilties I guess.

HLS chunks are just TS packets dumped into files.

Regards,
Nuno
