It's done in the driver / xine. But it shouldn't be to complicated to extract the PTS value from a TS packet. The PTS value is very near to the beginning of a PES packet and a bit in the TS packet tells you that a new PES packet starts in this TS packet. When you extract PTS for each PID and calculate the difference to the first seen PTS for each PID, then you evaluate, how much time should have passed since the beginning of the TS file. If you put this information in relation to the time passed in reality since opening the TS file, you can throttle the TS stream so that it doesn't overflow the buffers any more. BTW: keep in mind, that video PTS jump back and forth as the images are broadcast in decoding order while the PTS time stamps describe presentation order. Bye. -- Dipl.-Inform.
