GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 163747
the audio in the films has "blanks"
Last modified: 2005-11-11 16:47:28 UTC
Please describe the problem: periods of time (miliseconds) where nothing is heard, this makes the films terribly annoying to see. The video seems not to jump and there is no loss of synchronization. I'm using alsa, but gstreamer does not spit any errors about lost xruns (i'm using totem) I'm using a PIII 733 MHz and with the same films mplayer works without a glitch. Steps to reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Does this happen every time? Other information:
Please provide: your version of gstreamer, gst-plugins, gst-ffmpeg, what sound card, distribution and kernel version you use, whether you use distro packages or self-compiled gstreamer, which audio output you use (alsa or oss or esd), and some sample file where it happens. If you don't have place to upload file to, come to our IRC channel, we will help you with that. I assume you use Totem to watch movies, right?
gstreamer/gst-plugins/gst-ffmpeg CVS-HEAD from yesterday (11-01-2005). Ensoniq ES1370 Sound Card Debian distribution Kernel Version 2.6.10-rc2-ck2 Alsa as audio output I compiled the thing myself Yes, i try to use totem with no success at all, gstreamer always has issues that take me back to mplayer. I also tried with gst-launch-ext-0.8 but the results where the same. How can i upload a 700mb file?
Okay. Please chop first 3MB off the file and see if you can play it and whether the issue still occurs. If 3MB is too small, make it bigger, up to some 10MB. If you can't upload 3MB anywhere either, let me know and I'll setup an account for you, but I'd much prefer if you just posted it somewhere where we can grab it.
Diego we need the file as Maciej requested or we can't reproduce and have to close this bug. Please provide file or let us know if we can close this.
ok, i don't have any place to put the file, what should i do?
Come on IRC and ask me (BBB) or Stephane (LeRoutier).
I've created temporary account for you to upload on my private domain. Host ftp://mathrick.org, user "gst-upload@mathrick.superhost.pl" (yes, there's @ in username, don't ask why, I didn't write this stupid script...), no password. Please be gentle with it, it's my private account and I have limits set on it too, so don't upload too big files, OK?
ok, this past nigth i uploaded the file, it's below 6MB, hope is not too much, thanks a lot.
OK, file is available now at http://mathrick.org/files/Sky.Captain.avi if anyone is interested. Will try to take a look at it if time permits, no promises though.
The file works fine here.. Can you replicate now? Can you try with a different audiosink like osssink or esdsink? thanks!
Closing. Please reopen if it's still an issue for you!
