[vlc-devel] Re: Doing an lseek() with VOB files ...

Jean-Paul,

Firstly, I do appreciate your input and assistance, very much.

Are you referring to vlc_root/modules/demux/mpeg/system.c, the 
DemuxTS() function?  OK, this is what i've done to try to narrow the 
problem down:

             else
             {
                 /* This can indicate that we missed a packet or that the
                  * continuity_counter wrapped and we received a dup 
packet:
                  * as we don't know, do as if we missed a packet to be 
sure
                  * to recover from this situation */
                 msg_Warn( p_input,
                           "packet lost by TS demux for PID %d: current 
%d, packet %d",
                           i_pid,
                           p_es_demux->i_continuity_counter & 0x0f,
                           p[3] & 0x0f );
                 b_lost = 1;
                 p_es_demux->i_continuity_counter = p[3] & 0x0f;

FILE *pFile = fopen( "//Users//jmzorko//vlc_debug.txt", "a+" );
fprintf( pFile, "* " );
fclose( pFile );

             } /* not continuous */

... I put the fopen / fprintf in system.c, and then ran the test 
(server VLC, client VLC, telling server VLC to seek and seeing what 
shakes with the client VLC).  The results are interesting -- the "*" 
only appeared in the vlc_debug.txt file 7 times, though I told the 
server VLC to seek dozens of times.  Does this indicate that the 
discontinuity bit isn't always being set by the server VLC?

... haven't gotten this far yet.
