Trying to detect unreported dropped frames is why I added the framemd5 output
as a second output. After the command runs, I would use this command
grep -v "^#” output.framemd5 | awk -F',' '$2!=p+1{printf p+1"-"$2-1" "}{p=$2}'
to report the ranges of pts that weren’t incrementing the pts by 1 within the
pts. I had presumed that getting a gap in the pts within the framemd5 was
corresponding with the buffer overrun error in the terminal output. I’ve tested
a few hours of recorded with your patch applied and haven’t gotten any pts
discontinuity in the framemd5s yet.
