i might misremember as i didnt work much on that code recently but i think it was never intended to give an exact number, just a value that was guranteed to be available, which would not imply that there arent more available an exact number would be unsustainable, yes > > With the current requirement that no frame accumulate within the filter > graph, it can be replaced by just querying the sink, possibly with the PEEK > and/or NO_REQUEST flags. PEEK/NO_REQUEST would tell if the fifo is empty or not av_buffersink_poll_frame() basically provided the user application with the number of frames in the fifo (plus what it could figure out from previous filters) but my concern is about loosing the detailed information about the fifo [...] -- Michael GnuPG fingerprint: 9FF2128B147EF6730BADF133611EC787040B0FAB It is dangerous to be right in matters on which the established authorities are wrong. -- Voltaire
