RealMedia song stutters when played, problem reading metadata
Last modified: 2006-07-17 11:05:25 UTC
The attached RealMedia song stutters when played using Gstreamer. ffplay and MPlayer plays it with no problems. There's also a problem with the metadata. Gstreamer apps only reads the artist field as "omfortably Numb", but MPlayer reads this field and others ok. From MPlayer: Clip info: name: Comfortably Numb author: Dar Williams copyright: 2005 Razor & Tie Entertainment Using version 0.10.1-1 of gst-ffmpeg.

This should be assigned to component gst-plugins-ugly as it applies to the "rmdemux" element. This "stutter" has been noticed on a couple of Real Audio files either remotely streamed or locally loaded. The downside is that the gst-ffmpeg Real Media demuxer seems to work perfectly with the files (but does not allow remote files to be streamed). Example pipelines for simple verification: 1) gst-launch filesrc location=testfile.ra -t ! ffdemux_rm ! ffdec_cook ! autoaudiosink -> Works without stutter, tags are recognized correctly 2) gst-launch filesrc location=testfile.ra -t ! rmdemux ! ffdec_cook ! autoaudiosink -> Playback stutters, tag strings are cut
cook audio, so same problem as bug #347292 (marking as duplicate of the other bug since it contains more/better information). rmdemux needs to descramble the audio before sending it to the decoder. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 347292 ***
