[Pyobjc-dev] QTKit.QTMovie .play() question

[Armando R. <air...@gm...>]

I'm trying to play an mp3 file use QTMovie's .play() method, and no
matter what I've tried I only get approximately 2 seconds of output.
Is there something that I'm missing?  If I uncomment the print
movie.currentTime() call, I continue to receive the current position
of the file, but no sound.

Here is the code I'm trying:

================
#!/usr/bin/env python
from QTKit import QTMovie
from AppKit import NSSound

movie, error = QTMovie.movieWithFile_error_("Happy.mp3", None)

if movie:
    print "QTMovie Media Length
is",movie.duration().timeValue/movie.duration().timeScale,"Seconds."
    movie.play()
    while movie.isPlaying():
#        print movie.currentTime()
        pass
else:
    print "Error Playing Media"

#sound = NSSound.alloc().initWithContentsOfFile_byReference_("test.mp3", True)
##sound.retain()

#if sound:
#    print "NSSound Media Length is",sound.duration(),"Seconds."
#    sound.setVolume_(100.0)
#    sound.play()
#    while sound.isPlaying():
#        print sound.currentTime()
================

The commented section that uses NSSound works fine, and plays the mp3
to the end.

I need to use QTKit because I'll be generating clips from the source
audio and exporting to new files.

Thanks for any help.
