That seems similar to security video and if it is really just the recent
past, can be done entirely in the client. It may be preferred for the
smooth transition from now to recent-past and back to realtime.

Note: You would only cache uncompressed video. I maintained 2 gops worth
decoded and the rest however many seconds configured.
 ( I had my own http based server that served out gops of video so I could
play both directions and have random access to the video. I only put things
in containers on "export" I streamed to a player of my own design so I was
not streaming rtsp, I streamed multiple protocols including my own http one
from the same rtsp input. A bit odd, but it worked)
