Yes, and thanks for your help and sorry to keep bugging, but no one's answered these questions: Would these be considered "problematic:" 1) Seek is performed, first packet out of av_read_frame() has .flags=0 (meaning not a keyframe) 2) Seek is performed, avcodec_decode_video2() must be fed several packets (57 in my test with ffmpeg command line, with #55 being the only one with .flags=1 (keyframe)) before it gets a full frame out If the either of those two are "yes, that's problematic/undesired behavior" then I need someone to verify that it's not just me (and afaict that needs to be done with -dump -loglevel debug (which afaict no one has used) in order to show the first 54 packets returned aren't keyframe packets). If the answer to the above two are "no, that's not problematic/undesired behavior," then I guess we need to define and document what "seeking to a keyframe" means because then there's a misunderstanding.
