[vlc] --start-time doesn't work with local files

[Mark Moriarty]

I'm not sure, but part of it may be simply that you need the key frame to
get the full picture cleanly.
 
For example, it's possible to have a key frame interval of 200 frames,
which, at 30 frames per second, would mean you might have up to 6-2/3
seconds of video before you get the first full frame.
 
Is what you're seeing kind of like a broken cable TV signal, where you just
see these big blocks for a handful of seconds, then suddenly you get a clear
frame and the video is good after that?

I am observing the same thing - even the green screen of earlier versions
and slower computers... Lots of BIG pixelation for 5-10 seconds, and same
after having returned from a shift to a different application - which could
indicate LARGER CPU-use than previous versions.

i am using 0.9.4 and experiencing synchronization problem when using
start-time. the media starts from that point of time, but the first few
seconds is very jerky and youll miss few seconds of frames.
is there a workaround on this?
thanks.

Hi,

Could anyone check if starting to play a local file with the --start-time
option works, please? I've been trying with 0.9.4, 0.9.3 and 0.9.0-test 3
and neither of them work for local files while playing RTSP streams with
this option works properly. I've tried it also with 0.8.6e and it works
nicely with local files, so I can't understand why it doesn't work with
newer releases and it does with RTSP streams. --run-time and --stop-time
options WORK but --start-time doesn't. 

I try: 

$ vlc /path/to/local/file --start-time 30  <--- fail
$ vlc /path/to/local/file --run-time 30 <----works
$ vlc /path/to/local/file --stop-time 30 <----works
$ vlc rstp://ip:port/id --start-time 30 <--- works


Thanks,
Javi
