Can you find key frame in h264 video without decoding?

[John McDermott]

Hi Michael,

I’ve noticed that rtph264depay also sets the flag: https://github.com/GStreamer/gst-plugins-good/blob/20bbeb5e37666c53c254c7b08470ad8a00d97630/gst/rtp/gstrtph264depay.c#L973

Would that mean setting the flag again in h264parse is redundant if rtph264depay is in the pipeline?

Cheers,

John

I read that a keyframe has a unique start code in the NAL unit. In that case, does that mean rtph264depay sets the flag?
