#8598 new defect

Drawtext displays incorrect timecode

Description

Summary of the bug:
Drawtext with timecode option writes incorrect second number for a given frame.
How to reproduce:

ffmpeg -filter_complex "testsrc=size=200x100:r=1000/70[testsrc];[testsrc]drawtext=timecode='00\:00\:00\:00':r=1000/70:fontsize=32:y=4:x=4[timecode];sine=frequency=1000[audio]" -map '[timecode]' -map '[audio]' -pix_fmt yuv420p -t 3.5 -y testsrc-timecode-200x100@14.28-3.5s-sine.mp4

ffmpeg -i testsrc-timecode-200x100@14.28-3.5s-sine.mp4 frame%04d.png

Frame 29 that is displayed between 1960ms and 2030ms has the timecode: 00:00:02:00

Documentation says vaguely that "value" (no idea what value it talks about) is rounded:

timecode_rate, rate, r
    Set the timecode frame rate (timecode only). Value will be rounded to nearest integer. Minimum value is "1". Drop-frame timecode is supported for frame rates 30 & 60.

Regardless of what the documentation says I think this is incorrect

As a workaround I use this instead:

ffmpeg -filter_complex "testsrc=size=200x100:r=1000/70[testsrc];[testsrc]drawtext=text=%{pts}:fontsize=27:y=4:x=w-tw-30:font=monospace:fontcolor=white:borderw=1[timecode];[timecode]drawtext=text=%{eif\\\:n+1\\\:d}:fontsize=27:y=40:x=w-tw-126:font=monospace:borderw=1:fontcolor=white[timecode2];sine=frequency=1000[audio]" -map '[timecode2]' -map '[audio]' -pix_fmt yuv420p -t 15 -y testsrc-timecode-200x100@1000รท70-15s-sine.mp4
