Hi,

is there any reliable way to tell that you are in the first pass decode or
have been called to redisplay a frame?

The only thing I can think of is:

  Check for per-frame info, and if it exists, then you are displaying a 
  frame after the first pass

  else, you might be in the first pass, but you might not.

For some protocols, this does not matter, but for some protocols, this is
important, at least some of the time.


Regards
