Video doesn't pause on the right frame in Android

[noman5412]

I am using this code to pause video exactly on some specific frame but it goes beyond that frame in Android and then video gets paused.

private void Update() { if (_mediaPlayer.Control.GetCurrentTimeFrames() == 14000) { _mediaPlayer.Control.Pause(); } Debug.Log(_mediaPlayer.Control.GetCurrentTimeFrames()); }

• Unity version: 2021.3.5f1
• AVPro Video version (v3.0.11 (trial)):
• Operating system version: Android
• Device model: Redmi Note 12
• Video specs (1920x1080, 30fps, 235mb):

That is just the way video decoding works. There are a number of factors/reasons including, but not limited to:

• media is at it's core, time based, not frame based
• for maximum optimisation, AVPro Video operates under a 'status data' model - where we deliver all status data back at the top of each frame along with deferred signalling for such events as open/play/pause/seek (the API demands this due to threading models). This essentially means you could/will suffer a frame or so lag around delivery of information (GetCurrentTimeFrames) and signalling operations (Pause)

Your best bet is to watch for the frame (or maybe the frame(s) before depending on application framerate and video framerate) and pause + seek to the desired frame. Have you tried this?

Even if we offered the above as a feature in the guts of the plugin (to mitigate the delays because of the second point above), we would likely have to seek back in order to guarantee no frames were thrown away due to being decoded, buffered, thrown away due to new frames arriving before the API actually pauses playback.
