[Ffmpeg-devel] syncing to packet boundaries
Tue Apr 11 12:10:05 CEST 2006
Hi, I have an API level question:
Is there a way to find the nearest packet header for a given byte
position in an audio or video stream
and seek to that position, so that av_read_packet(pFormatCtx, &packet)
would read that packet?
I was browsing doxygen documentation and didnt find such functionality.
Or could I simply use url_fseek (if it was opend as a url) on the
AVFormatContext's ByteContect to seek to an arbitrary position and then
rely on av_read_packet() to sync with packet header?
Is there a solution that is independant of a specific format/codec?
How would you implement this?
