Hi friends,


I'm now checking a duration issue of a video file.
Here is some trace print out when file is opened, so we can know the dts of
last AVPacket is 167542, and the last frame  time stamp = 167376, and
coded_picture_num = 4013

But when I check the file using ffprobe -show_frames -select_streams v
input I could see

[FRAME]
media_type=video
key_frame=0
pkt_pts=N/A
pkt_pts_time=N/A
pkt_dts=167501
pkt_dts_time=167.501000
pkt_duration=N/A
pkt_duration_time=N/A
pkt_pos=103794518
pkt_size=74
width=1920
height=1080
pix_fmt=yuv420p
sample_aspect_ratio=1:1
pict_type=P
coded_picture_number=4016
display_picture_number=0
interlaced_frame=0
top_field_first=0
repeat_pict=0
[/FRAME]
[FRAME]
media_type=video
key_frame=0
pkt_pts=N/A
pkt_pts_time=N/A
pkt_dts=167542
pkt_dts_time=167.542000
pkt_duration=N/A
pkt_duration_time=N/A
pkt_pos=103794920
pkt_size=74
width=1920
height=1080
pix_fmt=yuv420p
sample_aspect_ratio=1:1
pict_type=P
coded_picture_number=4017
display_picture_number=0
interlaced_frame=0
top_field_first=0
repeat_pict=0
[/FRAME]

the ffprobe and ffmpeg libs were built from same latest source, so I'd like
to know why ffprobe could dump a last frame of timestamp 167542 but
av_read_frame + avcodec_decode_video2
couldn't


Thanks
