Hi.
Some videos packets do not contain pts, when trying to seek these videos while using h264_cuvid decoder and decode from the new position the decoder produces frames with incorrect timestamp. the frame content seems to be correct however get_best_effort_timestamp returns 0 for the first frame after seeking instead of the correct frame timestamp. it seems to be related to pkt_dts not being set by cuvid decoder since best_effort_timestamp is determined using pkt_dts.
