For seekable mpegts streams, duration is calculated from pts by seeking to the end of the file for a pts and subtracting the initial pts to compute a duration. This can be expensive in terms of added latency during probe, especially when streaming over a network. This new option lets you skip the duration calculation, which is useful when you don't care about the value and want to save some overhead. This patch is particularly useful when dealing with live mpegts streams. Normally such streams are not seekable, so durations are not calculated. However in my case I am dealing with a seekable live mpegts stream (networked access to a .ts file which is still being appended to). Signed-off-by: Aman Gupta <aman@tmm1.net> |
