I dont know much about different video container internals, but does any container keep frame seq index or is it just timestamps in stream? I got by this issue by constructing another pipeline to run through the container fast, collect all timestamps of all the frames, sort these timestamps, and then create hash table for timestamp->index conversion and a table to do index->timestamp.

I don't think I fully understand what you're trying to do. GstBuffer
has an offset field which is used to indicate the frame number. What
are you doing with your hash table?
