Expose `avformat_seek_file`

Open AlaaAlHallaq opened this issue 5 years ago • 4 comments

hello, I have been using ffmpeg for couple of years in my apps, and your library is extremely useful to simplify accessing ffmpeg functionalities. I need you to expose avformat_seek_file since av_seek_frame has some issues seeking most of the files I tested, I have a fork of your project, and used avformat_seek_file, and it worked for most of my test files.

av_seek_frame works just fine for every file I have ever thrown at it - what issues are you having?

Of course we could expose support for this method, but just curious what kind of issues you are facing with the current seeking method.

@gregcotten simply most of my test files did not work to seek through the file using av_seek_frame, forking this library and exposing avformat_seek_file, did the trick, noting that I have custom IO using AVIOContext.

Don't have time to work on it at the moment, but I see your fork - could you make a PR?
