Hi,

I'm facing a problem with finding the real start timestamp of a live stream.

I have several streams (http/mp3, http/aac, udp multicast mp3/aac).

For udp streams, i have a slight difference between the "real" start time of the first packet and the one i compute. For http streams, i have a difference of 10s (more or less) : the first decoded packet contains data that have been played/on air 10s before the stream opening (i listen to the same stream).

I guess that when i open the http stream, the server gives me 10s of the past, but it's really hard to prove it.

I've tried the start_time_realtime property of AVFormatCtx, but it's always set to 0 on my streams.

Here is how i initiate the timestamp:

_currentTimestamp = std::chrono::duration_cast<std::chrono::nanoseconds>(std::chrono::system_clock::now().time_since_epoch()).count();
        ret = avformat_open_input(&_iFormatCtx, _filePath, NULL, NULL);

Could someone provide an advice about this?

thanks

Florian
