From: Dave Stevenson <dave.stevenson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> There is an awkward situation with H264 header bytes. Currently they are returned with a PTS of 0 because they aren't associated with a timestamped frame to encode. These are handled by either returning the timestamp of the last buffer to have been received, or in the case of the first buffer the timestamp taken at start_streaming. This results in a race where the current frame may have started before we take the start time, which results in the first encoded frame having an earlier timestamp than the header bytes. Ensure that we never return a negative delta to the user by checking against the previous timestamp.
