How can I avoid the h264parse element when playing a h264 video stream?

[paolo perotinus]

Hello,

if my h264-mpegts video stream is encoded in bytestream format, do I need a h264parse element before the decoder as well?

Is there a way to create a h264 player without this element? (It introduces a 1 frame latency and I would like to avoid that)?

tsdemux produces unaligned h264 stream. To align this stream in frames,
you need to lookup for the start of the next frame, which indeed
consist of 1 frame latency.

tsdemux introduce 700ms latency to comply with the spec. I am not sure
how one frame latency will make a big difference. Maybe you need some
other container for your needs.
