[FFmpeg-devel] FLV seek bug persists with mplayer EDL

[Linux User]

Not quite sure if this is an ffmpeg FFFLV bug, a mplayer EDL bug, or
perhaps both.  I found the FLV seek/cut bug thread in the July 2007
archives, so I'm posting this as a follow up...


Seeking (with the arrow keys and/or page up/down) in FLV files with
mplayer seems to work unless using EDL.  Seeking prior to the first
EDL skip appears to work as expected; however after the first EDL skip
actual playback speed is ~75x.  This occurs whether the file begins
with an EDL skip or if the skip is later in the file.

Pressing backspace reports speed 1x (in the mplayer osd); however
actual playback speed remains unchanged.

Pressing [, {, ], or } reports the correct incremented/decremented
rate; however the video playback seems to remain unaffected, whereas
the audio rate seems to be adjusted properly.

Seeking after the first EDL skip (once the playback speed has
increased to ~75x) has been typically observed to have no (noticeable)
effect; however occasionally while seeking backwards, normal playback
speed is restored.

This problem has been observed (universally) on multiple FLV files
from multiple sites.
