Missing timestamps

[Robin Aproskie]

Thanks I got this response from fluendo because of the comercial licences we might have to purchace the codec pack.

The whole reason I went this way is I am using 1.2.3 and decoding h.264 HD well but I am overlaying information on the raw frames. I get issues when stringing 7 overlays in a row (textoverlay) I have posted before and get the following error when doing this 

Unhandled exception at 0x035a93bc in VideoDisplay.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x00000000. 
 
When I break to recall the stack I get these messages in the Call Stack window 
 
  libpixman-1-0.dll!034993bc()  
  [Frames below may be incorrect and/or missing, no symbols loaded for libpixman-1-0.dll] 
  libpixman-1-0.dll!0345a8a0()  
  libcairo-2.dll!02f532f8()

It's hard to comment on what might be the cause of this without knowing the rest of the pipeline. Theoretically both should work fine, but ffdec_h264/CONGO 2013.06 is based on a many year old now unmaintained version of GStreamer.

I would recommend you use 1.x if you have the choice, especially if it actually works better for you.
