Good question. Some of display consumers (sdl) just keep running asking for new frames even when paused (they will get the same frame from the producer when paused). Obviously, that is not optimal for performance, so some other consumers (sdl_preview and sdl_audio) can suspend themselves when they detect the producer has been pauses. However, when you change the speed back to something other than 0 or when you seek, you need to "wake up" the consumer to have it request a new frame. The refresh property is that wake-up call. It is something like a trigger event and perhaps would be better implemented as an event, but a long time ago, a property was chosen. -- +-DRD-+ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
