Hi.
I finally figured out the reason why all videos on matroska format can't
get last packet.

When I tried to get last video stream packet by seeking, I can't get any
packet.
Please check my example code as below:
// timestamp is bigger than last key_frame timestamp
// for example, if nb_index_entries is equal to 100
// and index_entries[nb_index_entries - 1].timestamp is equal to 1000
// and timestamp is equal to 1010. (please assume that last packet
(non-keyframe) pts is 1040)
av_seek_frame(fmt_ctx, stream_idx, timestamp, AVSEEK_FLAG_ANY |
AVSEEK_FLAG_BACKWORD);
while(av_read_frame(fmt_ctx, &packet) >=0) {
...
}

av_seek_frame works fine, but matroska_read_seek function always sets
'matroska->skip_to_keyframe = 1' without considering 'flags &
AVSEEK_FLAG_ANY'.

After call av_seek_frame(..., AVSEEK_FLAG_ANY | AVSEEK_FLAG_BACKWORD) and
call av_read_frame, matroska_parse_block function always ends line 3364
(see below)

if (matroska->skip_to_keyframe && track->type !=
MATROSKA_TRACK_TYPE_SUBTITLE) {
    if ((int64_t)timecode < (int64_t)matroska->skip_to_timecode)
        return res; // line 3364
    ...
}

It means that matroska_parse_block can't call matroska_parse_frame.
matroska_parse_frame is important because it manufactures packet and puts
packet in packet list by calling ff_packet_list_put function.

So that, I attached patch to fix this bug.
Please check it.

Regards.
