Most of these problems are minor. Generally, I only notice the problems when seeking and have CODEC_FLAG2_SHOW_ALL set. Mostly this will cause a slight distortion in the display. If CODEC_FLAG2_SHOW_ALL is not set, then a slight delay will occur but not really noticeable. I think that all playback of any mpegts file will cause some error to be displayed by ffplay even though actual playback is ok. I suppose it has recovered reasonably well in some cases. On some occasions though, the playback and seek is bad for mpegts files. This file is one of the bad cases: http://sms.pangolin.com/temp/mpegts_problem_file.ts In SMPLayer and ffplay, it will skip some initial frames on startup. Seeking does not work at all with SMPlayer for this file. With ffplay seeking does work, but if you keep seeking on it, audio will be out of sync. On startup you should see the just the lady standing there. With ffplay and SMPlayer it skips the first part and goes right to the lady standing and the words REQUIEM etc, being displayed. For my own app and with CODEC_FLAG2_SHOW_ALL set, I will see gray frames on startup and when seeking. When CODEC_FLAG2_SHOW_ALL is not set, I see delays. The VLC player shows distortion on startup and when seeking. The thing is, ffdshow in WMP, gets this file absolutely correct both on startup and when seeking. That is, there is no distortion, gray frames, or delays. This is the worse case file I have, but I have others with problems. All of them really, but most cases are minor, but some more severe. The errors reported by ffplay, mostly come from h264.c and h264_parser.c. I think this file just may be a worse indication of a general problem with the mpegts demuxer and other related code. The fact that ffdshow has no problem at all with the above file leads me to believe this. Keep in mind, all ts files I tested have some sort of a problem. Most of these are minor and only when seeking. Like it did not seek to an actual keyframe, but recovery is fast for the most part. The seeking issues may be related to the above or just bad keyframe management in libavformat/mpegts.c. The read_timestamp function for mpegts (mpegts_get_dts), has a FIXME next to it's av_add_index_entry.
