clip.start truncates clip at _end_ with (some) red5 servers

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Simple config on a red5 instance of user:
clip: {
url: 'Extremists.flv',
  provider: 'rtmp',
  start: '30'
},
plugins: {
  rtmp: {
    url: "flowplayer.rtmp-3.2.9.swf",
    netConnectionUrl: 'rtmp://216.139.216.220/oflaDemo'
  }
}

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected: clip.duration truncated 30 secs from beginning
Instead: clip.duration truncated 30 secs from end, playhead not starting at 
beginning

Could be a problem with red5 or with the specific version of red5. Works fine 
with cloudfront and wowza (hddn).

it's possibly the duration tracker will test.

doesn't seem red5 doesnt like a start property so a bug well the offset messes 
the file seeking up. will close this and advice they sent a bug report.

ok, will add something like "does not work with Red5" or so to the docs.

Yes I just spoke with them, red5 is primarily a free live streaming server. VOD 
mp4 is actually quite complicated to work with, it seems i've been told they 
haven't checked offset times at all :)
