[FFmpeg-devel] [EXTERNAL] Re: Extracting NTP timestamp from RTCP

[kifayat ullah]

Hello Fred and Michael,
Did you manage to put ntp time in this start_time_realtime?
I need to extract the ntp time stamp from RTSP incoming packets as my server send this to presented on time lime of my player.
Fred, did you sorted that out to get value of NTP and RTP from packet coming on rtsp lines.
Many thanks

the code could interpret both 0 and AV_NOPTS_VALUE as "not set"
now and at some point in the future (when the major version is bumped)
drop the 0 case so it becomes avalable as a normal value

also see
see libavformat/version.h
and how the defines from there are used throughout the codebase
