Hi All, In short: Does ffmepg supports start decoding H.264 stream without receiving I/IDR farmes? (I don't care abouth the expected artifacts) In long: I have hardware encoder which sends h264/RFC3984 stream in multicast or unicast. This hardware is also controlled by RTSP server (based on LIVE555). I want to be able to play the stream using VLC, and join the stream even after the playback starte. The problem is that the source generate only one IDR frame in the start, and uses AIR (adaptive intra refresh) - to preserve a constant bitrate as much aspossible. There are no other IDR or other I frames beside the first one. The RTSP server sends the SPS/PPS in the SDP, and they are also transmitted in-band (RTP) from time to time. The first player which address the RTSP server and actually initiate the stream (and receive the first IDR frame) is able to play the stream. The second player which address the RTSP server and want to join the same existing stream (and already missed the first IDR) is NOT able to play the stream. I have no problem with the artifact I expect to see when starting to decode withot proper refernce frame, since in short interval all macroblocks will be refreshed (AIR). Is such scenario is supported in ffmpeg ? If so what can be my problem? Are there other implementation that can solve my probelm? .
