[uridecodebin] No download buffering for AVI files
Last modified: 2010-04-01 18:52:22 UTC
This was created as addition to bug 361793! Probably this is a bug in gstreamer for not providing this information but anyway, there is no buffer status for DivX files available. Example: http://www.jhepple.com/support/SampleMovies/AVI_DivX.avi
We can't do download buffering on those, as the AVI index isn't available at the start of the file. This would require the queue2 element in GStreamer's playbin2 to try and do a seek on the web server (which might, or might not work). See also: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=600877
