[vlc-devel] commit: Remove non-sensical NPT computation code from c9569b35. ( Rémi Den is- Courmont )

[Derk-Jan Hartman]

QTSS has to be broken.
I just added debug to liveMedia at the exact spot where the pts is  
read from the data and the following is shown:

So unless the data is read incorrectly from the packet, or if the  
packet is corrupt (both of which i seriously doubt), QTSS is not  
really sending the data as it should (can you confirm that Ross ? )

I've been considering how to handle this, and the only thing i can  
think about is ignoring a sample of which the Pts differs more a sec  
from the previous. ( 1000 000 ). (This is a common issue btw. I have  
seen this problem with most of Apple's keynote streams etc)

Apologies to Ross for implying that it could be liveMedia that was at  
fault, i just needed to cover all my bases in looking into this. It  
seems we are off to the QT mailinglist.
