oggdemux: wrong duraation for OGG audio files with an offset
Last modified: 2012-09-30 10:42:41 UTC
Some time ago I ripped a lot of music off some internet radio stations using banshee-streamripper. The created OGG files worked like normal OGG files but there file length was usually displayed as 2 hours or more. Fortunately all media players I used always started playback at the right position. Example: If a 5 minute track was displayed as being 2 hours long, all player would start playback at 1:55:00 While this was kind of strange it did not cause any problems so I just ignored it. Recently I have upgraded to the new version of Ubuntu, now all "mislengthend" tracks will only play a few seconds or less before the playback silences and I can enjoy the wonderful silence of the whole initial offset (Note that the media player will count my position within the song normally but from 0:00:00 instead of whatever offset the song had) If anybody could either restore the old behaviour or tell me how to strip this "initial gap" from my files, I'd be very thankful.
Care to tell us some more information, like what version you upgraded to for example? What does gst-inspect-0.10 oggdemux | grep Version output? Could you make such a file available?
