[MPlayer-dev-eng] Meaning of demuxer->filepos ?

[Arpi]

Hi,

nothing


> How does it differ from stream_tell(stream) ?

it contains the return value of stream_tell(stream) at the beginning
of a packet.

in a generic way:

demux_read_packet(){

. skip junk, padding, sync to next packet
demux->filepos=stream_tell(stream)
. parse packet data

}

but actually it's not used at such detail, and not even implemented
correctly in all demuxers. afair it's only used to display file position
at OSD, and for some low-level demuxer debug messages.
