https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=127854

           Summary: Support getStartDate() on the MediaElement
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: iOS
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Media Elements
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: jim.ley at gmail.com


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.
