Are there use cases that just don't work? I'm asking because I got it working for a personal project and for all the file formats I've tested it works just fine. I admit it was a bit tricky to implement though, but after understanding how the demuxer and streams work (I mean in general, not FFmpeg specific) it just makes sense.</div><span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><div><br></div><div>Lucas</div></font></span></div><br>_______________________________________________<br>
