Bug 90734 – [GStreamer] usec rounding is wrong during accurate seeking

• Component: Platform
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Philippe Normand]

The current approach is dummy :( We should switch to a floor()-based rounding solution.

[Philippe Normand]

With the current implementation 6.027200 seconds rounds to 6.030000. Kind of far fetched rounding.

Can you give an example of how this affects rounding? Before, 6.0272 was rounded to 6.03. What is it rounded to now? Does this affect tests at all?

> Can you give an example of how this affects rounding? Before, 6.0272 was rounded to 6.03.

Yes. Example when running media/video-seek-past-end-playing.html

Seek to 6.027200: 6.000000 secs 30000 usecs
Seek: 0:00:06.030000000

> What is it rounded to now?

Now, same test with the patch:

Seek to 6.027200: 6.000000 secs 27200 usecs
Seek: 0:00:06.027200000

> Does this affect tests at all?

Yes, well with the patch media/video-frame-accurate-seek.html still passes.
The issue with the previous rounding "strategy" is that some values were correctly rounded and some not, as you can see above. Maybe I can update the layout test!

I need to rework/rebase this patch

[Philippe Normand]

I think there might be some small bugs in the GStreamer decoders, making sure currentTime() is as accurate as the seek method I can still see the frame displayed is either the one preceding or following the one requested. The video-frame-accurate-seek test actually shows the issue too, 3rd video should show frame #14 but shows frame #15 instead.

The code changes in this patch look fine, but I don't understand the test.

It seems like something is wrong with this test. The expected result for the first three videos shows 12, 13, and 15, but the test says it's expected to show 12, 13, and 14. The last video displays 6.01 seconds, not 6.0272 or 6.03.

I think you should file new bugs for the EFL and Mac rebaselines, else they probably won't happen if you add an expectation to hide the failures.

See comment 12.

This now works as expected \o/

That's because 6.01 means (6 * 25) + 1 frames = 151. And not 0.01 seconds.

So we do a seek to 6.0272 seconds which means 6 seconds and one half-frame (0.02 = 1/50) but the video is at 25fps so the demuxer choses instead to jump to the next full frame, if I understand correctly.
