I allow for proper cleanup and no telling what state ffmpeg would be in if I 
just up and terminated the thread. It's in the mist of decoding and waiting for 
return allows me to free packet its decoding etc.

Another thread waits on it normally waiting to seek or exit.

Best thing would be interrupt callback.

  What do you mean by "waiting"?
  If you're calling this api on a different thread, why can't you terminate the 
thread?
  If you're calling it from your main thread, there's nothing your app can do 
until the function returns, unless they implement some callbacks in the middle 
of the execution.


  Best of luck!

      Are you looking for CODEC_FLAG2_SHOW_ALL?

    No. I can easily check between calls to avcodec_decode_video2 but once its 
called you are stuck until it returns. Would be nice to be able to interrupt it 
for quicker seeking and to end 'the' video more quickly. Doesn't matter too 
much for a simple player app, but I have things on timelines and also video 
coming and going quicky. Things are time corrected to a timeline but the more I 
can reduce impact from things like this the better off we are.

    A simple seek to zero is quick, but if I have to wait on 
avcodec_decode_video2 to return, then its slower and can be quite slow. I don't 
mean finish as in the flag (gotframe) to avcodec_decode_video2, but just 
waiting on it to return period.
