seeking in a file that ffmpeg is processing from a live stream

I’m using ffmpeg to take input from a live stream and write an mkv file. The stream runs a few hours. I want to play the mkv file while this is in progress. I find that the players basically do “seeks” by playing through the file, which is ok for very short “seeks” but not for very long ones.
