mediaplayer.set_time() is not consistent

Postby engelcia » 11 Nov 2022 00:38

Hi!
I'm building a splitscreen compare program in python with the python vlc package.
Following scenario:
1. I play the video until a random point, stop it and get the current mediaplayer time via mediaplayer.get_time()
2. I resume playing the video and stop it after a random time again.
3. I set the video with mediaplayer.set_time() to the value obtained in step 1. Sometimes it shows the right picture sometimes not.

As I'm really dependent on visable frame compares this is really frustrating. What is the issue there?
Is it because of the keyframe jumping of vlc? How can I prevent that?

Have you tried using set_position instead?
