when files are transcoded by the server, it is done by launching another process to convert the file and the server simply plays back the output stream. This leaves the server with no way to time shift through that live stream (think of it as similar to radio at this point). Native formats work via direct file access, so the server can arbitrarily skip through the file. In theory, transcoded files could have this ability in the future, but the solution is non-trivial.
