GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 153818
AVI plays back extremely slowly
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
Using CVS HEAD gstreamer, gst-plugins, gst-player on FC2. I open up a video in gst-player and it plays, but at say 0.1 frames per second. The problem is not CPU load -- some kind of timing issue, I guess. The video is one of Jimmac's Blender tutorials: http://jimmac.musichall.cz/demos/blender/absolute-vertex-keys.avi
could be because of recent ronald's work on AVI Audio/Video sync and as this avi file has no audio at all ...
That's not in a release yet, so unlikely. Works fine in the playback stuff that I'm working on, btw.
"not in a release yet" -- I'm using CVS HEAD of everything, if that makes a difference ...
In that case... Does it play using gst-plugins/examples/seeking/seek 11 file:///path/to/yourfile.avi?
Yes, it seems to play normally. There is a *lot* of disk grinding, but that's a separate issue if it's an issue at all.
just a side note, i tried to play this file with other players : - mplayer plays it well under Linux - nero showtime plays it well under Windows - bsplayer, windows media player, media player classic and winamp 5 can't play it under Windows
Works using current CVS of Totem.
Now it works but there seems to be a massive memory leak involved in the playback somehow. Should probably open a new bug but this one already has information about the file and my setup.
Doesn't here. Can you give some more information? Maybe a valgrind run?
Created attachment 32189 [details] Massif graph
Created attachment 32190 [details] Massif text output Output from a very brief run of Massif on the file. (Paused and exited after maybe 10 seconds.) Not quite sure how to interpret the results.
Guess this is the main culprit? --------------------------------- Context accounted for 11.5% of measured spacetime 0x3B0A8D0B: gst_buffer_new_and_alloc (gstbuffer.c:247) 0x3C27B6EF: gst_divxdec_chain (gstdivxdec.c:285) 0x3B0C7630: gst_pad_call_chain_function (gstpad.c:4402) Called from: 11.5% : 0x3B0C4BA3: gst_pad_push (gstpad.c:3214)
divxdec, ah, so you don't have gst-ffmpeg installed? Yes, this helps a lot, I think I'll be able to nail it down with this info.
