I compiled flv demux against gstreamer-0.10.15 and gst-plugins-base-0.10.15. I see a werid problem when flv demux works in pull mode. By the way, it works well in push mode.

gst-launch-0.10.exe playbin uri="file:///c:/w.flv"


In gst_flv_demux_loop() function, demux->segment->rate is negative value for some reasons I don't know. I tried to print the value, but the g_print shows that the value is 1.0 in else clause of demux->segment->rate >= 0. So the playback never starts and ends up in reverse playback's EOS condition.

    /* check EOS condition */
    if (demux->segment->last_stop <= demux->segment->start) {
      /* <<<ALWAYS STOPS HERE>>> */
      ret = GST_FLOW_UNEXPECTED;
      goto pause;
    }

More interestingly, when I convert demux->segment->rate to gint, it works correctly and playback the flash video.

if ((gint) demux->segment->rate >= 0) {
...
}
else {
...
}

Is this a race condition?
