I'm having the same problem...I haven't come up with a solution yet and it
seems like there may not be one other than reading then entire file. I'm not
sure if nb_frames is ever set in an MPEG (MPEG-2/MPEG-TS for me) file. If
you manage to solve the problem, please post again so I can see what you did
(I'll also post if I come up with a solution).
