[gst-devel] Re : question on seek

[Albert Costa]

Thanks to all for the answers.
So it looks like I can't avoid simply the prerolled frames, at least without significant code change. So I'll just let it be for the moment.

The problem is that the video sink will render the first frame already
on preroll, so just as it goes into PAUSED state. You are waiting for
the pipeline to finish prerolling though (and reach playing state on top
of that) before you issue the flushing seek, so at that point it's too
late and the first frame has already been shown.

So if you want to avoid that you either have to prevent the videosink
from drawing preroll buffers, or do the seek before it reaches the sink
(but after you know the demuxer is read for seeking, which is tricky).
You could probably do something involving pad blocks here. Or use
gnonlin, as has already been suggested.

Cheers
