[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH] avformat/mxfdec: disallow generic seek search

[Marton Balint]

If the demuxer does not provide per-stream indexes, the generic seek search can
attempt to read the whole media file from the beginning when seeking. For large
MXF files this can cause huge lockups for a seek after the last timestamp,
which will eventually fail. So let's disable the generic seek for mxf, the
demuxer's own seek code should handle seeking just fine.
