I tried changing to backward but the problem remains, HEVC bitstreams don't have timestamps; so default timestamp is AV_NOPTS_VALUE which on my system is negative - seeking to timestamp 0 takes you to the end of the file.

Do you mean avformat_seek_file() ?
It also uses timestamps and has a warning in the documentation to not use it.


Sorry all if threading is broken; I have been browsing the archives rather than receiving the list and there is no option to receive only replies to your own posts. So I can't post this as a proper reply. I am now setting to receive the list when I post anything.
