<div>In principle, yes. However, server support for this kind of
thing is (necessarily) media type dependent. See <<font

<div>It shouldn't be. Specifying a start time in the RTSP
"PLAY" command is a well-established part of the protocol,
and VLC's RTSP client implementation supports this, I believe.
However, it's up to the server to decide if and how to implement
this. As I noted in the link above, it works for some media
types only.</div>
