Description Marlène Jacquier 2011-03-01 06:58:36 UTC 
Some theora decoders need the header packets, when the demux used is ffdemux_ogg instread of oggdemux, these packets are not sent.

I couldn't find these data in some extra buffer, can we retrieve them?
If yes, how?
If not, could the plugin be modified to include that?
Comment 1 Tim-Philipp Müller 2011-03-01 10:15:27 UTC 
Why are you not using oggdemux?
Comment 2 Marlène Jacquier 2011-03-03 13:11:55 UTC 
I'm using it but I would also like to be compliant with other demuxes. I'm just wondering why these packets are not sent?
Comment 3 Marlène Jacquier 2011-03-09 08:28:56 UTC 
Generally speaking, can we trust gst-ffmpeg demuxers?
Comment 4 Tim-Philipp Müller 2011-03-09 09:02:46 UTC 
There are two answers to this:

  (a) No

  (b) Check the rank as per gst-inspect
Comment 5 Tobias Mueller 2011-07-03 12:05:15 UTC 
So is this a WONTFIX then?
Comment 6 Tim-Philipp Müller 2011-07-03 12:12:29 UTC 
> So is this a WONTFIX then?

For ffdemux_ogg, yes (I'll mark it as obsolete, because the element is not exposed any longer in the upcoming release).


> Generally speaking, can we trust gst-ffmpeg demuxers?

There is no 'Generally speaking' with gst-ffmpeg elements. Generally speaking, the answer is "no" though.
