videos not playing from start after pause-rewind

[public-hons]

hi there,
when i pause a video and rewind it to the beginning and hit pause again, the video does not start from beginning but always quite a few frames in. this happens both with key commands and dbus commands.

the only time i see the first half second or so of my videos is when starting omxplayer, but after that with pause, rewind (or SetPosition to zero) i never get back to frame 0 again. it seems to get better when i encode the videos with more keyframes though..

any help or suggestion ? cause i am a bit stuck ...

thank you guys,
hons

Seems to work for me with a h.264 mkv file and pressing space, left arrow space.
I may need a sample file that definitely exhibits the problem to resolve this.

yes of course, could have thought about that..
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1488161/startframes.zip

the above .zip contains two short videos showing this behavior:
"startframes_B.mp4" is visually easier, the first 15 frames are black-white, and then a red circle with a number 1. after pause-rewind-pause you won't see the first frames again.
"startframes_A.mp4" also shows this behavior (but is visually not so clear ..)

in the meantime i realized that it seems to happen (only ?) with videos that have been encoded on a mac with quicktime player.
i can however encode with quicktime player on a mac if i export as quicktime movie and enable “Prepare for Internet Streaming” and choose "Hinted Streaming" (or "add hint track", i don´t know exact translation..) - then the above behavior does not occur.

hope that helps,
and thanks for your effort,
hons
