GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 569732
QOS is deactivated in video sinks, causing slow playback
Last modified: 2009-03-25 12:35:41 UTC
Please describe the problem: 720p MPEG2 part4 footage taken directly from my Samsung HMX10C plays back slowly inside PiTiVi, while Totem (also using gstreamer) plays them back decently with a few framedrops here and there. PiTiVi doesn't skip a single frame, rather it plays like it's in slow motion. Problem occurs regardless of framerate set in Project Settings. Sound is not affected. Steps to reproduce: 1. Import a 720p 50fps MPEG2 part4-enclosed H.264-encoded clip. 2. Play said clip either as a preview or from the timeline. Actual results: Video playback seems to play in slow-motion, audio doesn't seem affected. Expected results: Video should playback at normal speed to keep up with audio, even if frames need to be skipped. Does this happen every time? Yes. Other information: Sample clip (~15MB): http://indi.hu/jeghegy/HDV_0032.MP4
Indeed, we have qos disabled on videosinks for a couple of years now. The problem way to re-enable it depends on bug #398453 to be fixed.
