Regarding the duration problem in FLAC gstreamer plugin
Last modified: 2013-02-26 11:57:30 UTC
We are not all getting duration for the flac files from the ffmpeg gstremer pluins. Steps to reproduce : Just construct the gstremer pipepine for the flac files and query for the duration of the file. Expected Result : We should Duration of the flac file correctly Observed Result : We see duration returning wrongly. Can u please tell u how we can solve this problem or any patch which can fix this issue.
Make sure to use a parser (flacparse) before the decoder. gst-launch-1.0 filesrc location=foo .flac ! flacparse ! avdec_flac ! progressreport ! pulsesink works just fine for me.
Am not able to find the flacparse and avdec_flac in the current package . Can u please tell us where we can get those plugins and source code.
I don't think you looked very hard for it then. If you google for 'flacparse', the first hit indicates that it's part of gst-plugins-good. You can find the gst-plugins-good source code and git module from the GStreamer homepage at http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org -> downloads -> modules
