mpegts seeking failure

Description

We have noticed that some mpegts files FFmpeg fails to properly seek. Even though the file itself when read sequentially (without seeking) seems to work fine.

Why do you think there is a bug that can be fixed in FFmpeg?

comment:3 by ronag, 5 years ago

I supposed that mpegts files should be seekable in FFmpeg? In this specific case for whatever reason an otherwise working file is not possible to seek using FFmpeg.

It can seek to certain places but not others, e.g. the same command above will succeed without errors when instead using "-ss 2".

It looks like ffmpeg doesn't seek to a keyframe and then decode + skip until the correct frame like it does with other container formats. Just guessing... or maybe there is a technical reason specific to mpegts which makes this not possible?

comment:4 by ronag, 5 years ago

With further research it seems that the last key frame is at 15 seconds, seeking anything beyond that fails. The file is encoded with libx264 -tune zerolatency so bframes should be disabled... not sure what is going on

I don't think there is an issue that can be fixed.

comment:6 by Balling, 5 years ago

Does it play good in Windows 10 player (from Microsoft store, Movies & TV)? See ​https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/movies-tv/9wzdncrfj3p2?activetab=pivot:overviewtab
Actually I have the same problem that looks like a duplicate of #7950

cehoyos, with all do respect, I think you're wrong.

Looks more like a duplicate of #4868 and #5093 to me

This is very easy to recreate:

ffmpeg -f lavfi -i testsrc=duration=5 -c:v libx264 out.ts
ffmpeg -ss 1 -i out.ts -f null -

Why are you reopening this ticket if it is a duplicate?

We both agree that there is no keyframe after 16.9 seconds, this cannot be fixed.

comment:9 by Jesper Ek, 5 years ago

Here's another issue #1607

So the reason it's failing is because it's falling back to the generic ff_gen_search, which doesn't respect keyframe searching when AVSEEK_FLAG_ANY flag is unset.

What do you mean it cannot be fixed? Are you saying that you cannot use the previous keyframe and decode the next frames based on that keyframe? I think what you mean is that it's difficult to seek to the keyframe since there's no index, it's definitely possible.
