Firstly, I should link to this article for some context; I have managed to implement the code from that article, without making Bitmaps for each frame.
Another article that is similar to this question is this one, but this one has yet to reach any resolution.
However, the aforementioned method that I have implemented will require the program to begin decoding from the very first packet. Are there any means of skipping past earlier packets of an FFMPEG-type video file?
Please inform me if I need to provide any more context; I will update this question.
(I have tried to check the data in the packets for any time stamps or similar markers that will help me do this. I still don't know which piece of data reliably suggests this.)
