Description Jean-François Fortin Tam 2012-03-29 02:31:54 UTC 
1. Get the GES version of pitivi (see http://wiki.pitivi.org/wiki/Building_with_GES for instructions, including a turn-key script for setting it up)

2. Get the "texture" sample project from
   http://jeff.ecchi.ca/public/sample-pitivi-projects/
   (and hack the file paths in the .xptv file a little)

3. Load the project into pitivi, start playing

4. Notice the playhead going insane:

Comment 1 Thibault Saunier 2012-04-11 18:05:55 UTC 
What we are currently doing in GES to handle gaps in a timeline is to add a "background" which is a GESTimelineTest with a G_MAXUINT priority and expandable.

I am wondering if that couldn't cause this kind of misbehaviour?

What should be done is properly detect gaps in each GESTrack and add a GESTrackXxxTest source in each gap, that resizes/is removed whenever it is needed.

Quick note to self:
broken rendering is a separate issue than broken live playback.
