jwPlayer 6 seeking to exact position

Question

Is it possible to somehow get jwPlayer 6 to seek to an exact position in the video, regardless of keyframe interval?

I acknowledge that this probably requires that it will have to go to the previous key frame and load from there, but I want it to skip those few seconds and only start exactly at the second I specify.

We're currently using Wowza for streaming.

If the response involves injecting a keyframe at the position I want it - are there any tools that can do that for mp4-videos? e.g "promotetokeyframe videofile.mp4 12.0"

You can use our API and jwplayer().seek(); but we do only seek to available keyframes. The API reference is here, in case you need it - http://www.longtailvideo.com/support/jw-player/28851/javascript-api-reference
