Description Mark Borst 2002-10-01 16:22:05 UTC
Package: GStreamer
Severity: normal
Version: 0.4.0-5
Synopsis: gst-launch-ext doesn't handle dots in filename
Bugzilla-Product: GStreamer
Bugzilla-Component: gstreamer (core)

Description:
Description of Problem:
If gst-launch-ext gets a file-name with more than just one dot in the
extension, it cannot determine the file-type.

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. get a mp3 with more than one dot in the filename
2. gst-launch-ext file.name.mp3
3. you get "No suitable pipe found for extension  atomic kitten - the
tide is high.mp3."

Actual Results:
One try of mine:
mark@flappie:~/music$ gst-launch-ext 26.\ atomic\ kitten\ -\ the\ tide\
is\ high.mp3 
No configuration file /home/mark/.gst found.  You might want to create
one.
No suitable pipe found for extension  atomic kitten - the tide is
high.mp3.
mark@flappie:~/music$ 

And a good result with the renamed file:
mark@flappie:~/music$ gst-launch-ext atomic.mp3                         
            
No configuration file /home/mark/.gst found.  You might want to create
one.

Expected Results:


How often does this happen?
Every 'dot'ed filename

Additional Information:
I used the debian packages, version 0.4.0-5

Comment 1 Christian Fredrik Kalager Schaller 2002-10-24 15:05:32 UTC
gst-launch-ext is a simple perl script that does its typechecking
based on filename extension. gst-launch-ext is meant as a simple test
app for gstreamer, not sure if fixing this 'bug' is within the scope
of what gst-launch-ext is meant to do.
