Description
The player doesn't currently detect seeking which originates from the video tag. This means that the JavaScript API doesn't expose seeking on iOS.

Note: See
TracTickets for help on using
tickets.

It should be noted that iOS5 doesn't fire the seeking or seeked events (see w3c media events test page). This makes it very difficult to expose the seek event to the player API in a consistent way.
Propose to implement seek in the player using a standards-compliant method, and list the iOS limitation as a known issue in the onSeek documentation.
