Description (last modified by Carl Eugen Hoyos)

(Sample from videolan ticket 8486)
A vlc user provided a sample that plays fine with MPlayer (and totem), can be transcoded with ffmpeg (see ticket #2506), but plays with heavy A/V desync with ffplay since d148339
With older ffplay versions, many frames are dropped (but the sample plays mostly in-sync).

Summary: Heavy desync with ffplay for a mpeg4-ogg sample → Invalid pts values in mpeg4-ogg sample

FFplay part is fixed in 28031404571bb69a1d685341cfc1cd737ecb9681.

However there seems to be a avformat/avcodec issue here as well, which makes the PTS values bad.

Reproduced by developer: set
Summary: Invalid pts values in mpeg4-ogg sample → Unknown packet pts values in mpeg4-ogg sample

Actually the PTS values are only missing, they are not invalid. And not only the decoded frame pts-es, but the packet pts values as well. However you have to decode the video, to experience the problem, ffprobe -show_packets does not show any issues, but ffprobe -show_packets -show_frames does.

cannot reproduce missing timestamps, but maybe iam looking at the wrong place or time

also if its not a regression anymore then priority should probably be reduced to normal

comment:8 by Marton Balint, 10 years ago

ffplay -vf showinfo will eventually show you frames with NOPTS pts-es.

comment:9 by Marton Balint, 10 years ago

Priority: important → normal

Regression part was in ffplay, and that is fixed, so reducing priority to normal.

comment:10 by Michael Niedermayer, 10 years ago

"-fflags +genpts" can be used to get pts for these frames.
is there evidence that the file contains pts values at the ogg level ?

comment:11 by Carl Eugen Hoyos, 10 years ago

Playback looks nicer with totem imo than with ffplay.
