[vlc-devel] [PATCH 1/1] Supporting ONVIF PRofile-G recording playback

[David R. Robison]

Please forgive me for being dense, I am trying to come up-to-speed on 
the VLC code as fast as I can. Can you please elaborate more by what you 
mean by "time base"? Are you suggesting a new media_player function to 
set the time base? My key concern at this point is the DEMUX_SET_TIME 
more than the DEMUX_GET_TIME, although I'll have to address that at some 
point as well. The current live555 module references everything 
according to NPT, maybe I need to make it more generic and then have a 
flag to indicate NPT or CLOCK time. David
