But you make a error quite a few people make: You suggest some implementation without saying what your goal is. This might end up bad in several ways: 1) someone implements something similar to what you suggested, but since he did not know what you wanted, in a way that breaks exactly the case you care about 2) the functionality you actually want might already be available, just not in the way you expect 3) someone might know a way to implement the functionality in a way that is much simpler and would be implemented right away instead of waiting for someone to implement the much more complicated thing I mostly complain though because I think you probably want this for seeking to work in files that are still being downloaded, and for that your suggestion is a very ugly and unintuitive hack and in many cases -demuxer lavf can handle that fine (in theory, I have not really tested it for many cases).
