 I'm developping a multimedia player based on ffmpeg.

 To do frame stepping, I need to associate frame numbers and frame times
 (timecodes).
 If AVStream::nb_index_entries is != 0, I use AVIndexEntry structure,
 otherwise, I build an "index" manually.

 Building the "index" is as simple as decoding frames until we reach the
 end of the file. When decoding frames, I can retrieve frame times (pts)
 and store them.

 My issue is that the first frame I get is not the first one, its pts is
 not 0, its the (correct) pts of the third frame so I miss 2 frames.

 I suspect frames content are correct (what is displayed) but their pts is
 not. It's hard to tell because first frames of the sample file are
 identical.

 I use the new decoding API so it may be a bug there or I may not use it
 correctly.

 Anyway, a test case is provided.
 The sample is "simpsons_movie_1080p_trailer.zip" from
 http://www.h264info.com/clips.html. MD5 is
 ff37f121ea26b09c926926a6ba737194

 I tested it on windows with ffmpeg v3.2.4 and git version
 20170404-1229007-win32 (win32 build)
