libvlc_media_player_set_time() vs. libvlc_media_player_get_time()

[_MO_]

Situation:

The video is paused.
I'm setting time to 1000 milliseconds with libvlc_media_player_set_time().
In some time I'm getting the current time with libvlc_media_player_get_time() and it returns 998 milliseconds instead of 1000.

Next, I'm setting time to 998 milliseconds (it should be current time) and in some time, when I call to libvlc_media_player_get_time() again, I have 1011 milliseconds instead of 998.

So I always have a gap between libvlc_media_player_set_time() and libvlc_media_player_get_time().
Is there a way to have "synchronized" values?

Thank you!

No. Seeking accuracy, and even reported time accuracy depends on the file format, and even for the accurate ones, it is subject to race conditions anyway.

Thank you for the answer, Rémi
