Description Jim Ley 2014-01-29 13:55:23 PST 
With an HLS stream with timecodes in it - http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-pantos-http-live-streaming-07#section-3.3.5
They come out nicely in an AVPlayer:

AVPlayerItem \*thePlayerItem = \[player currentItem\];
NSDate \*date = \[thePlayerItem currentDate\];
NSLog(@"Date: %@", date);

But getStartDate()  (http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/the-video-element.html#timeline-offset ) which should be trivial to support given the information in the stream is not exposed.   

Please expose it or the actual timecode via another prefixed property.
