souphttpsrc: Implement support for reverse playback
Last modified: 2014-01-30 14:27:14 UTC
Currently souphttpsrc does not support reverse playback (ie. if seek event has rate < 0.0, it fails) I am not sure how hard that would be to implement.
Does reverse playback in push mode make sense at all? You can do it with queue2 and the demuxer working in pull mode.
What I mean here is that users should be able to do backward playback with playbin (for example) even if the stream is over http. Not sure what would be the best solution for that I have to say.
They can do that already if queue2 download buffering or the ring buffer is enabled and used. Let us know if you figure out another way to do it and what you think soup should be doing here and how.
OK, got it, thanks for you answers, I did not know it was supposed to work this way.
