nuvdemux: extract or estimate duration
Last modified: 2016-12-21 11:49:11 UTC
Trying to use the Discoverer module to retrieve media information and video length always returns as -1 for mythtv's native nupplevideo format. The file has a mpeg4 video stream and a mp3 encoded audio stream and has been generated with mythtv 0.24. Other aspects such as videoheight, videowidth, mimetype etc show up correctly. Also videolength shows up correctly for .avi files. I am using libgstreamer-0.10-1 - v0.10.30 and I have all the plugins packages installed (base,good,bad,really bad). I am coding this using the Python bindings and specifically the Discoverer module. I am attaching a sample code that I am using to test this out. Thanks for all your efforts.

This plugin was never ported to 1.x and has been removed now.

They're still in the GIT history if needed. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=774530
