I was looking at why seeks within the timeshift were takiing longer than I expected and was surprised to find that one skip 30 minutes back, resulted in 15 calls to SeekLiveStream() !?

Now it did seem to get better after a few more skips around the buffer, but never better than 5:1.

Is this 'normal' and expected?

Thanks!

I believe it's normal and what is happening is that it's looking for the first keyframe available near the requested position.  If you log/debug the requested position(s) you should see a pattern of it narrowing down where it wants to go.  Each seek should be roughly an order of magnitude less in scope than the previous, at least in my experience.
