[vlc-devel] vlc wmv start playing time control and key frame position do not tally

[zhu shi song]

I have hzvideo.wmv video file, first I use asfbin to see its key frames.
<<<<<<

C:\videotools\asfbin1.8.2.903>asfbin -infokf -i hzvideo.wmv

.....

Parsing file C:\videotools\hzvideo.wmv:
0-100%:.....10.....20.....30.....40.....50.....60.....70.....80.....90.....100
File C:\videotools\hzvideo.wmv key samples:

From asfbin output info, there is one keyframe for every 10s.
Then I test the video using ffplay, when I set to play from 11s,  we can see that it starts playing from 10s(key frame point).  Seeking of ffplay is correct.  See the following output:

I  try hard to play the video using every version of vlc(vlc-1.1.11, vlc-1.2.0-rc1, vlc-1.3.0-git), every of  them  has the same problem.  They all can't seek to correct keyframe point. For example, I seek to 13s, player should play from 10s, but vlc starts playing from 0s.  When I seek to 16s, vlc then seeks to 10s.  VLC does start-time control  wrongly.   The error causes that the length of partially transcoded video is not correct.
