Re: [gst-devel] _seek() & query_position() problem - a gstreamer bug on Nokia 770?

[Sharath M. <sha...@mi...>]

Hello everyone,

=20

I have more updates on this issue.

=20

MY OBSERVATIONS:

1. The seek operation is malfunctioning (as explained in the below mail) =
for
mp3 playback and AVI (with mp3 audio) only. For wav it is working fine.

2. This happens only on Nokia 770. But works fine on Nokia N800.

=20

PROBLEM: I have to make it work on Nokia 770.

=20

MY CONCLUSION:

It must be the Nokia binary issue (I am not sure though).

=20

Please, someone let me know how to resolve this problem.

=20

Thanks and regards,

Sharath

Hello all,

I am developing a media player on Nokia 770. I am facing problems in
gst_element_seek() during playback ( mp3,wav,..).

=20

PROBLEM:

After playback start, if I seek() within the ALREADY played back range =
(start
- current position) then seek() is fine.

If I seek() outside the ALREADY played back range (in other words, =
farthest
played position to end position), I observe that the audio goes off and
doesn't come back UNTIL the actual playback position reaches the seeked
position. Also, I observed that the gst_element_query_position() doesn't
return the seeked position.

EXAMPLE:

1 . I start playback of a 2 min stream. After 5 secs, I seek to 30 sec, =
now
audio goes off. Now, gst_element_query_position() is still returning me =
the
current playback time. The audio comes back after exactly 25 secs.

Now, if I seek anywhere between 0 to current time seek works fine with
gst_element_query_position() returning the correct position.

2. I start playback of a 2min stream. I play for 90 sec. seek() to 30. =
this
is ok! I seek() to 60. This is also ok! But, now if I seek() to 100 sec =
( >
90 sec). Audio goes off for exactly for 40 secs ( 100 - 60 , ie., seeked =
time
=3D 100, current time =3D 60).

=20

OTHER OBSERVATIONS:

Gst_element_seek() always returns TRUE.=20

No assertions or hang-ups.

I see it only Nokia 770. Not on a linux PC.

QUESTION:

Is this the MIPS problem on Nokia 770?

 Thanks and regards,
 Sharath
