The video streams are OK - I'm able to play them fine and output a still image for each and every frame as long as I start at the beginning and decode going forward.

    I have various videos that are VBR and don't have an accurate
    duration
    or frame rate.

    I wrote some code to index the files by reading through the whole
    thing
    by packet and recording the pts, byte offset, and duration for each
    frame, and recording which ones are I-frames. This also allows
    getting
    an accurate duration for the files that didn't have one too.

    Now I'm attempting to use the index to jump to any arbitrary
    frame, by
    first seeking to the byte offset of the I-frame before the desired
    frame, and then decoding packets until the desired number of
    non-I-frames are processed.

    I've tried this both using the byte offset and with the pts of that
    reference I-frame, but in many cases I'm getting repeating "loops" in
    the video.

    This is probably my misunderstanding of what the fields in the
    AVFrame
    are. While building the index, I'm using a loop of av_read_frame()
    and
    avcodec_decode_video2(). When I get a picture, and if key_frame is
    set,
    I record the frame's pkt_pos, pts, and pkt_dts values in a dictionary
    keyed by the frame number.

    When I seek to an arbitrary frame, I look up the first entry in the
    dictionary with the frame # I'm looking for, and then to:

    av_seek_frame(context, video_stream_index,
    pkt_pos_for_nearest_iframe,
    AVSEEK_FLAG_BACKWARD | AVSEEK_FLAG_BYTES);

    Then if the frame I'm looking for is not an I-frame, I repeat the
    av_frame_read/avcodec_decode_video2 loop until I get to that frame
    number.

    Does anyone have any experience with this kind of thing who could
    tell
    me what I'm doing wrong?

Check the video stream first? Sometimes the video stream were already broken so the codec cannot decode the stream.

Or you also can use other codec(such as libx264 or libx265). And check the others codec output.
