FFprobe Issue (newest git full version 2021-09-08-git-5e7e2e5031, gyan)

[ProWo]

Hi all,
I am currently using ffmpeg git full version 2021-09-08-git-5e7e2e5031. The ffprobe.exe included in it can no longer read frame=pkt_pts_time.
With the release version of ffprobe (v4.4) it still works.
Maybe one of you can point this out to the ffmpeg developers.
Thank you.

Atm. there is nothing to report since you didn't care to share example calls and outputs.
-> Why can't you report it in details to their bug tracker (https://trac.ffmpeg.org) ?
(assuming it's not related to https://trac.ffmpeg.org/ticket/8680)

Thank you for your reply. I have not written to the bug tracker because I am not registered and do not want to register.

If you want, you can easily check my statement with the following command:

ffprobe -loglevel error -read_intervals 100%+20 -select_streams v:0 -show_entries frame=pkt_pts_time,pict_type "yourmovie.mkv"

The output of v4.4.(g.e):
[FRAME]
pkt_pts_time=115.949000
pict_type=P
[/FRAME]

The output of the latest full git (g.e.):
[FRAME]
pict_type=P
[/FRAME]

pkt_pts_time is missing.

Looking at the history of ffprobe.c it shows:

ffprobe: remove references to frame->pkt_pts

The field was removed during the last major bump.

Looking at the changes that were made, it looks like the option was renamed.

Instead of 'pkt_pts_time', only 'pts_time', needs to be used.
So no bug or similar, just you not being aware of changes.

Good to know.
Thx, Selur.
