[vlc-devel] small bug report in input, demux and seek

[Sébastien Escudier]

Hi,

I checked MP4 seeking and I noticed that when input thread is seeking at time
"x", the MP4 demuxer is looking for a sync frame before "x".
Then, input will demux data as fast as possible to reach "x".
And this is an issue with, for example, UDP output, because of data loss.

Another small thing with the start-time option in input thread:
input MainLoop is first demuxing frames, and then it handle controls. So the
first frame of the movie is uselessly demuxed before the seek happens, in this
case.

Regards,

Seb.
