Hi all, (again same post as few weeks ago, because I haven't received anything)
We need to improve the seeking capabilities (performance) in our video player. The video player concurrently manages 5 different video files (MP4), and plays them in a time synchronized manner. Each video file has a time index file (proprietary) which includes among other things a time stamp and the corresponding byte position of the H.264 data (I frame). Pure time-based seeking is not an option due to performance reasons. The same player can handle MPEG-2 file. They come with a video time index file as well. We have amazing results with bytes-wise seeking (calling avformat_seek_file with AVSEEK_FLAG_BYTE). It seems that the mpegtsraw demuxer (libavformat/mpegts.c) is doing that pretty good. Different story with the mov demuxer: To me it looks that the current implementation of libavformat/mov.c does not support byte- wise seeking. Having a look into the mov.c confirms my impression. It there a possibility that this feature will be added to the mov demuxer any time soon? Thanks and best regards, Beni _______________________________________________ libav-api mailing list [email protected] https://lists.libav.org/mailman/listinfo/libav-api
