Re: [gst-devel] Smooth rewind with Gstreamer

[Wim T. <wim...@gm...>]

Some remarks:

 - Always have a start position smaller than the stop position. For
backwards playback, playback will go from the stop position to start.
>From your description, it does not seem like you do this.

- The KEYUNIT seek flag will make it perform a seek to the nearest
keyframe (earlier) than the requested seek position. It has nothing to
do with further playback.

- If you want keyframe only playback, you could implement the SKIP
seek flag. None of the free demuxers honour this flag yet but it's not
so hard to implement.
