seeking in ffplay causes $subject.
Also seeking in another player that uses libav* also causes frame sync error.

I have uploaded file powderblue to upload.ffmpeg.org

Anything else i can do to help?

This also happens when seeking in the raw mpeg stream of commercial DVDs (or at least one DVD). After printing this error, the decoder returns an error. This is pretty bad for me, because I think this causes a slight desync.

Looking at the code, I guess it simply fails with AAC_AC3_PARSE_ERROR_SYNC internally. This error also happens when seeking with libdvdread or libdvdnav (in which case seeking with libavformat is not involved at all). This means it fails with the same error in both cases. I'm not sure what to make out of it.

I uploaded a sample named "dvdsample" using http://upload.ffmpeg.org/upload/, but I'm not really sure where the upload form put it. (Maybe failed?)

Replying to gjdfgh:

I uploaded a sample named "dvdsample" using http://upload.ffmpeg.org/upload/

No such sample was uploaded today, consider reading https://ffmpeg.org/bugreports.html or upload to http://www.datafilehost.com/

Retried with a real FTP client. Now it's actually there.

By the way, if you use ffprobe and look at the packet and frame timestamps after a seek, the first audio PTS is different, which implies ffprobe implicitly drops the "bad" first audio packet too. (-read_interval, -show_packets, and -show_frames options.)

Where is sample now?
