Comment (by stevenliu): Replying to [comment:7 j_karthic]: > Well, if we round the target duration to '''nearest integer''' as per the spec, part of the problem is resolved.

See thread http://ffmpeg.org/pipermail/ffmpeg- devel/2017-September/215630.html more details. During that time, I was not able to provide a concrete example with mediastreamvalidator like @beloko has done now. But I thought the spec was very clear about it without any room for confusion. > > @stevenliu > If you have a change of mind after seeing these results, please let me know. Maybe I will send a new patch which fixes the target duration in dashenc, and we can take forward our discussions there. The spec said "EXT-X-TARGETDURATION must > EXTINF", we have talk and you have sent twice patch about it. you can see the spec said "MUST be less than or equal to the target duration.", attention the MUST, MUST, MUST, we should don't care the tool, we should care the spec. If the tool different with the spec, that maybe apple's mistake, you should push apple. > > > > > -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.ffmpeg.org/ticket/6915#comment:8> FFmpeg <https://ffmpeg.org> FFmpeg issue tracker _______________________________________________ FFmpeg-trac mailing list FFmpeg-trac@avcodec.org http://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-trac
