Hi Ross,

Works nicely.

Commenting out, pidStatus->hasJustStarted = False; in
MPEG2TransportStreamFramer::updateTSPacketDurationEstimate()
also worked as a temporary workaround but clearing the pid status
table is much cleaner.

I will add 2/ to my VLC trickplay patches. There is no rush on including
1/ to the released code.


Dermot.
