I would like to know how can I convert a timeval presentationTime value in
function afterGettingFrame(..., struct timeval presentationTime) to .NET
DateTime ticks (number of ticks passed since 0001-01-01)?
I don't know, but this seems completely unrelated to your next question:
In my afterGettingFrame(frameSize, presentationTime) function I made
a log call
LOG("Video frame received: %d bytes (%d:%d)\n"), frameSize,
presentationTime.tv_sec, presentationTime.tv_usec);
And the logs is
2008-12-11 14:30:09 Video frame received: 14796 bytes (8970:592115)
2008-12-11 14:30:09 Video frame received: 1050 bytes (8971:592259)
2008-12-11 14:30:10 Video frame received: 1031 bytes (8972:592403)
2008-12-11 14:30:12 Video frame received: 1074 bytes
(9745106:531920) <------ gap
2008-12-11 14:30:12 Video frame received: 1045 bytes (9745107:532064)

2008-12-11 14:30:19 Video frame received: 1100 bytes (9745114:533039)
It's not clear for me why there is a gap between 3rd and 4th record?
It's because the first few presentation times - before RTCP
synchronization occurs - are just 'guesses' made by the receiving
code (based on the receiver's 'wall clock' and the RTP timestamp).
However, once RTCP synchronization occurs, all subsequent
presentation times will be accurate.
This means is that a receiver should be prepared for the fact that
the first few presentation times (until RTCP synchronization starts)
will not be accurate. The code, however, can check this by calling
"RTPSource:: hasBeenSynchronizedUsingRTCP()". If this returns False,
then the presentation times are not accurate, and should be treated
with 'a grain of salt'. However, once the call to returns True, then
the presentation times (from then on) will be accurate.
