[avidemux] Allow seeking in push mode
Last modified: 2010-03-10 10:49:49 UTC
The fix for bug 354590 causes some problems in totem: $ totem http://video.stage6.com/1006708/.divx will crash when we try to seek as we don't have the full-length of the file available to us.
You use gnome-vfs with that patch and can seek on that file? That's interesting, my gnome-vfs doesn't allow seeking at all on that file but on others it works fine. Do you have any changes to gnomevfssrc?
I have no idea why it doesn't allow seeking though, basesrc thinks it is seekable. How do you detect this in totem and decide whether to make it possible to use the slider or not?
As I said on IRC, avidemux only implements the seeking query in CVS/prerelease, that's why it allows seeking when operating in push mode even though it doesn't actually support it. Why it crashes I don't know though, a stack trace would be helpful
I can't reproduce the crash anymore, as the seekable status is correct with a newer gst-plugins-good. The only thing missing is actually allowing seeking in avidemux in push mode.
Is this bug still valid ?? The url in the initial report isn't valid anymore.
Here's another URL to test with: http://samples.mplayerhq.hu/avi/processor_burning.avi Seeking doesn't work there either.

Recent series of commits to avidemux have arranged for seeking in push mode.
