Re: finding keyframes

Hello,

Written something.
It's a pure database thing. Apart from a slight slowdown, it has no
effect on the engine.
So far, FLV and QT are enabled.

I'm not sure whether this is of big use. Client part is untested,
and xine_play () need not seek exactly to that keyframe even if
its location was specified exactly (maybe zeroing normpos and
solely relying on time helps).

Well, after all my recent speedups, pulling the stream position slider
yields such a fast stutter in place ;-)

An old rtmp server feature. But I did not implement that yet.

What application do you use ??

Not if we need to scan whole file for that.
