Description mlambda 2011-09-30 12:10:52 UTC

Totem Movie Player can't seek in certain mp3 files (the slider is disabled), e.g. http://chaosradio.ccc.de/media/tim/mm/mm071-sicheres-durchstoebern.mp3 (VLC media player can seek in this file without any problems). Sometimes the problem can be solved by constantly reopening the audio file until the slider gets enabled.

Other files work fine (at least most of the time), like http://meta.metaebene.me/media/raumzeit/rz023-rosat.mp3

I don't think this is a duplicate since totem doesn't crash. And if I reopen a non-seekable mp3 file several times the slider gets enabled and seeking works without any problems.
