[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH] libavformat/mov.c: fix seek issues for fragmented mp4 files

From: Srikanth Kiran Kotagiri <srikanth at descript.com>

For Fragmented MP4 files where the audio and video streams are written to seperate fragments, the -ss option will cause the file pointer to be set to the first available fragment. This is due to an interaction in search_frag_timestamp() function and get_frag_time() functions.

With this change, we first verify that the fragment does not actually contain the requested fragment before just sending AV_NOPTS_VALUE.
