Smart video seeking that decides between native and server-side seeking

This command analyzes the current video stream and automatically chooses the best seeking strategy:

  • HLS streams: Use native seeking
  • Direct play streams: Use native seeking
  • Transcoded non-HLS: Request new stream URL from server starting at seek position

The backend always handles the seek itself, including re-opening a stream, since every video renderer is native (DR-235).
