[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH v3] avformat/hls Implement support for using AVSEEK_FLAG_BACKWARD when seeking

Fri Jan 28 20:52:54 EET 2022


Before, seeking in hls streams would always seek to the next keyframe
after the given timestamp. With this fix, if seeking in videostream and
AVSEEK_FLAG_BACKWARD is set, seeking will be to the first keyframe of
the segment containing the given timestamp. This fixes #7485.
