[mythtv] Question about the nuv seektable and keyframes

[Torbjörn Jansson]

The keyframe interval I have seen is 30.

There is two reasons for building the seektable manualy.
It coud be that it doesn't exist or that the file is being streamd over the
network (http for example) and trying to seek to the seek table will force
the whole file to be downloaded (since the seektable is last in the file)
before being able to see anything.

How will this change affect the calcucation of the total length of the file?
Can I still do something like this: (totalkeyframes*keyframedist)/fps to get
the length? Or will that be somewhat incaurate?

Another thing that woud be helpful is to have for example videoblocks member
of rtfileheader filled with something other than -1. because without the
seektable it's a bit hard to know how long the file is.
