Mister Hatt, that picture of VLC failing is pre 1.0

I am doing a test with different encoders vs playback platforms, and have tried to engage you with reference to mplayer, i have some specific questions about mplayer in that thread.

but for some reason, that thread is to hard for you to follow, or is a pain

I need to get a hold of Kionon and the sample file he had last night that was failing, if it fails under the 1.2 branch (ie CVS), i can give it to the vlc devs. they actually like hard samples, stuff to be able to look at to see "why"

you may be an encoder for a living, but I am a tester for a living. I am trying to EXACTLY test and determine any issues so they can be addressed. I do not say that VLC is the very best application ever, and I don't say mplayer is either. I want to run a set of tests to find out. I need sample data to run the tests with, I need additional scenarios to make sure that any information is valid.

If you are so sure that VLC will fail, then I would expect you to fall over yourself in trying to help me, to make sure i get my testing right.
Lead me not to temptation, for I have deadlines

I'd hold off there, Cyrix. Quu and I go way back, and while his areas of expertise are different than Hatt's, he has them, and this was never in doubt. Don't presume you have some sort of ally in Quu just because he is asking for clarification.

Patrick, I woke up after you left IRC, but I'll be around all day. Remember that whole half a world away thing...

I think I did in fact mention that it was old, however 1.3.0 or whatever the latest is still has that problem. It's gold.

I can confirm this on 1.1.3. Random blocks are especially common when hitting chapter points, and seeking tends to have them too, regardless if open-gops were used or not. Also, it still has a 50:50 fail ratio when seeking, it doesn't seem to be able to hit the chapters but seeks to a random point previous to them, despite the chapters point being perfectly timed (and I can confirm this with MPC-HC chapter seeking too).

That's most likely due to libavformat sucking at almost everything rather than a VLC specific thing, although I don't recall seeking/referencing issues in lavf in mplayer so idk.
