mad plugin fails to play certain files
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
The mad plugin fails to play certain files (instant eos), for example http://nl.linux.org/~jorn/Files/broken.mp3
have to add that it works perfectly with madplay
verified with gst-player (same behaviour). gst-launch-ext plays it, but of course that ignores eos ;) let's debug this one !
*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 89622 ***
the mp3 typefind function fails to recognise this mp3 with id3 tags as a valid mp3. The text/plain typefind function however incorrectly detects text/plain so things get even worse. The solution is to improve the mp3 typefind funtion to detect mp3 files with id3 tags and improve the text/plain typefind function.
Ok, both me and Olive have tested that this works now. Thumbs up :) Closing bug.
