Syntax

[Flags]
public enum FormatContextFlags

Fields

Name	Description
NoHeader	Indicates that no header is present in the format context. Streams may be added dynamically after initialization. This flag is useful for formats where the header is not known at the time of opening, and additional streams can be added or removed as needed.
Unseekable	Indicates that the stream is not seekable. Attempts to call the seek function on this stream will fail. This flag is commonly used for network protocols or streaming formats (e.g., HLS) where the seekability of the stream can change dynamically during playback.
