[playbin] queue-threshold and queue-size do not work in increasing buffer sizes of streamed media
Last modified: 2011-05-19 08:41:17 UTC
Queue-threshold and queue-size properties of playbin do not seem to work with any media file. For example, running: "gst-launch -m playbin uri="http://movies.apple.com/movies/wb/the_dark_knight/the_dark_knight-tlr2_h1080p.mov" queue-size=9000000000 queue-threshold=9000000000" hangs at a certain percentage. This happens on totem (changing these properties via gconf-editor) and gst-launch for any apple quicktime movie trailer. Thje problem seems to happen with all media types as well. I've tried changing the queue-threshold/queue-size properties several times (even the default), but the hang still happens.
playbin2 does not have these properties anymore and everything is handled differently, playbin is deprecated and should not be used anymore. As such I'll close this bug as WONTFIX now.
