title: iOS html5 video on mobile safari
body: <p>I have a video I'm playing on iOS 4.2 where I'm listening in the timeupdate events and pausing video at certain times. This is fairly accurate. However, I also have player controls that seek to certain parts of the video using current time. </p>
  
  <p>There appears to be a bug where the time seeked is never accurate - not accurate enough for what I need to do with it. The problem gets worse as the length of the video increases and I've also noticed that at the beginning of the video the seek time would be around 0.5 miliseconds off the time I specify but as I try to seek further along in the video this increases. Seeking 2 minutes into a video files is off by around 2 seconds. </p>
  
  <p>I don't think this is a probloem with my code as I've replicated the same behaviour using the opensource Jplayer.</p>

  <p>currentTime has caused me nothing but problems on iOS. It didn't even work on 3.2.</p>
  
  <p>Is the problem I'm having now a known bug and is there a workaround for this?</p>
