GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 164625
bad playback of this avi file
Last modified: 2005-11-11 16:51:17 UTC
When playing back the DivX/MP3/AVI movie with playbin (the effect is espesially noticeable under Totem) there are noticeable pauses in the output (video will freeze and audio cuts out). The commands I used: gst-launch-0.8 playbin uri=file:///home/jcollie/tfe.avi or: totem tfe.avi Playing the movie with mplayer or the following command showed no problems with pausing: gst-launch-0.8 filesrc location=tfe.avi ! avidemux name=demux .audio_00 ! { queue ! mad ! alsasink } { demux.video_00 ! queue ! ffdec_msmpeg4 ! xvimagesink }
Oops... forgot to include a link to the movie: http://fw07.dmacc.net/tfe.avi
ronald, i'm putting it actually in hour FTP, (your account, in riff-avi/ subdir) changing title as it is not playbin specific
Hi Jeffrey, I tried it and it looks like CPU overload. How's your CPU usage? What kind of CPU do you have?
When I am playing the movie, Totem is using 25-35% of the CPU, X is using 10-15%, and the CPU is usually around 50% idle overall. Using the non-playbin gst-launch the movie play is very smooth and gst-launch is using 10-15% CPU and X is using 5-10% CPU. Playbin directly from gst-launch shows the pauses and uses around 15-20% CPU and X is using 10-15% CPU. Here's /proc/cpuinfo: processor : 0 vendor_id : GenuineIntel cpu family : 6 model : 13 model name : Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1.70GHz stepping : 6 cpu MHz : 598.151 cache size : 2048 KB fdiv_bug : no hlt_bug : no f00f_bug : no coma_bug : no fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 2 wp : yes flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr mce cx8 mtrr pge mca cmov pat clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss tm pbe est tm2 bogomips : 1185.43
Can you still reproduce this bug? Please also try different types of audiosinks (alsasink, osssink, esdsink) thanks!
Closing. Please reopen if it's still an issue for you.
