[FFmpeg-devel] Seeking to out-of-bounds timestamps

[Wolfram Gloger]

Hi,

Seeking to a timestamp beyond the highest dts in a file,
if AVSEEK_FLAG_BACKWARD is _not_ specified, should fail.
Analogously, seeking to a ts lower than the minimum dts if
AVSEEK_FLAG_BACKWARD _is_ specified, should also fail.

Does everyone agree with this?

av_gen_search() does _not_ implement these restrictions
currently.
