Minor: decode_start_sec is a mut binding plus a 7-line justification comment, and its only consumer is span_sec 39 lines later.

Since the budget already clamps to the 8h ceiling, worst-case sizing straight from source_end_sec gives the same clamped result in every branch and drops both the binding and the comment. Small thing, but it's one less piece of state to keep correct if the fallback branch changes.

FFmpeg av_seek_frame AVSEEK_FLAG_BACKWARD keyframe actual position documentation audio stream

💡 Result:

In FFmpeg, the av_seek_frame function uses the AVSEEK_FLAG_BACKWARD flag to indicate that when an exact match for the requested timestamp is not available, the seek operation should land at a position at or before the target timestamp [1]. Regarding your specific areas of inquiry: Keyframe Behavior and Guarantees The flag AVSEEK_FLAG_BACKWARD does not inherently guarantee that the resulting position will be a keyframe [2][3]. The success of landing on a keyframe depends heavily on the demuxer implementation, the file container, and the underlying stream type [2][4]. While the default behavior (without AVSEEK_FLAG_ANY) is intended to prioritize keyframes, many demuxers—particularly those handling complex containers like MPEG-TS or specific video formats—may return a position that is not a keyframe if an exact keyframe match is not found or if the index information is insufficient [2][3][4]. Users often encounter situations where the first packet returned after a seek has flags = 0, indicating a non-keyframe [3]. Audio Streams FFmpeg's av_seek_frame is a legacy API that operates primarily based on a single stream index [1]. When you provide a stream index, it attempts to seek relative to that stream's timebase [5]. If you pass -1 as the stream_index, the function attempts to guess a default stream, which can lead to unpredictable results if the container has multiple streams (e.g., audio and video) with different interleaving or keyframe characteristics [1][3]. Because audio streams often have different (or effectively non-existent) keyframe structures compared to video, seeking in audio may result in landing at the requested timestamp without the "keyframe" restriction being meaningfully applied, or it may disrupt synchronization if the seek was intended to align video keyframes [1]. Practical Recommendations 1. Expected Behavior: You cannot assume the result of av_seek_frame with AVSEEK_FLAG_BACKWARD will be a keyframe [3][4]. If your application requires a keyframe (e.g., for accurate decoding), you must often manually discard non-keyframe packets or decode forward from a preceding keyframe until you reach the target timestamp [4]. 2. Alternative API: The newer avformat_seek_file function is generally preferred over av_seek_frame as it offers more granular control, including explicitly defining minimum and maximum timestamp bounds, which can lead to more predictable seeking behavior [6][1]. 3. Verification: Always inspect the packet flags of the first packet received after a seek if your application's logic depends on starting from a keyframe [3].

Include seek pre-roll in the decode budget.

AVSEEK_FLAG_BACKWARD does not guarantee an exact or keyframe-aligned landing point. A successful seek can require substantial decoding before source_start_sec, but loop_budget_secs excludes that pre-roll. Use the actual landing position or a conservative pre-roll bound to prevent valid streams from exceeding the budget.

The seek-failure fallback restarts at t=0, but track.decoded isn't trimmed until mix_aligned_tracks at the very end — so the loop buffers everything from 0 to source_end_sec in RAM rather than just the window.

A MediaRecorder WebM with no cues (you already have electron/recording/webm-seek-index.test.ts for that case) where av_seek_frame fails, exporting a 5s window ending at t=3h: decode_start_sec = 0.0 and you decode 3h into track.decoded — 10800 × 48000 × 2 × 4 = 4.1GB per track, doubled on a macOS system-audio + mic recording — then discard all but 5s.

Before this fallback existed the path decoded from wherever the demuxer sat, so the blowup is new. Dropping samples below source_start_sec as they're pushed would fix it.

// Anti-loop guard: a container whose audio track is truncated or corrupt at

I'm not convinced the stall this guards against is reachable through this loop, and it's worth pinning down before adding a timer.

At :382-388, read == AVERROR_EOF ends input and every other negative return — including AVERROR_INVALIDDATA, which is what a truncated container actually yields — goes through averr(read, ...)? and aborts. So "av_read_frame never returns EOF" requires it to keep returning 0 with packets forever, and I couldn't find a repro or issue number for that.

If the real stall is instead ffmpeg's internal fallback scan or blocking I/O on a removable volume, it happens inside one av_read_frame call, and loop_start.elapsed() at the loop top never gets re-evaluated — the export hangs exactly as before.

Worth noting the three sibling video loops have the same shape and no guard (pipeline_macos.rs:368, linux_decode.rs:245, pipeline_windows.rs:759), and linux_decode.rs maps every rr < 0 to EOF so it can't spin at all. If there's a real hang report behind this, could you link it? That would tell us where the guard belongs.

// end-of-stream can make `av_read_frame` never return AVERROR_EOF, so
// `decoder_eof` never propagates and the loop spins at 100% CPU forever.
// A TIME budget, not an iteration count: `av_read_frame` can be slow on a
// corrupt stream, so a count would either never fire or cut healthy long
// clips short. The budget scales with the requested window
// (`DECODE_BUDGET_SLACK`), with a floor (`MIN_DECODE_BUDGET_SEC`) and a hard
// ceiling (`MAX_DECODE_BUDGET_SEC`, so a WebM reporting duration = Infinity
// cannot disable it).

The budget formula has real edge cases and none of them can be exercised: it's inline in an unsafe ffmpeg function with a hardcoded threshold and no injection point.

source_end_sec of Infinity saturates the float-to-int cast; NaN gives NaN.max(0.0) == 0.0 and so the 60s floor; source_end_sec < decode_start_sec is unhandled.

This same file shows the pattern that would fix it — :476 says mix_aligned_tracks is "Séparé du décodage pour être testable sans ffmpeg" and has 8 unit tests behind it. Pulling out fn loop_budget_secs(span_sec: f64) -> u64 would make the guard testable in exactly that style.

let span_sec = (source_end_sec - decode_start_sec).max(0.0);
let loop_budget_secs = ((span_sec * DECODE_BUDGET_SLACK) as u64)
.max(MIN_DECODE_BUDGET_SEC)
.min(MAX_DECODE_BUDGET_SEC);
let loop_budget = std::time::Duration::from_secs(loop_budget_secs);

This adds a third hand-rolled av_frame_free/av_packet_free/avformat_close_input sequence, while the six ? early-returns in the same loop still leak all three — :388, :394, :416, :433, :439, :447.

So a user retrying a failing export leaks an AVFormatContext plus its I/O buffers per attempt, and the next ? added to this function will leak again. crates/compositor/src/remux.rs:73 already defines RemuxGuard with an impl Drop for exactly this shape — reusing it would remove all three copies and cover the existing early returns for free.

This bail! gives you a fully silent clip, which is worse than the stall it prevents.

All three callers — pipeline_linux.rs:506, pipeline_windows.rs:1439, pipeline_macos.rs:1105 — match Err(error) => eprintln!("...silence conservé") and leave clip_pcm[i] = None, so assemble_concatenated_pcm writes zeros for the whole clip. The user gets a "successful" MP4 with that clip silent and no error in the UI.

And it throws away work that's already done: track.decoded holds everything decoded up to the cutoff. Setting input_eof = true and falling through would emit the partial audio instead, which is both closer to the comment's intent and recoverable for the user.
