About block_t::i_pts value
Posted: 24 Aug 2016 22:31
Hi everyone,
I'm using smem module to get decoded frame buffer and do my own rendering.
I get valid data in my postrender callback but in order to render it when it needs to, I have to retrieve the sample (presentation) time.
The last parameter of the callback is pts (presentation time) so this is what I need but I don't know how to interpret the value.
I ran my code multiple times and the value was always different for the first frame but the delta between the first and the second one is always the same.
So I guess it's kind of a date representation.
I read it was milliseconds since epoch time but it doesn't work for me.
It may be based on a clock so I would need to divide it by a certain value (frequency) but frankly I don't know.
Any hint would be great.
