URL source seeking

Hello,
Whenever I try to seek a streaming URL (i.e. a .mov from quicktime trailers) using playbin, I noticed it does not work. With some codecs, moving a seek bar causes crashes in GST and others it doesn't do anything. Why does seek not work with streaming video on the net?
Thanks.

Re: URL source seeking

Crashes are bugs: please report them. We don't want gstreamer plugins
to ever crash!

As for why this doesn't work:
- if it's an actual live stream, it can't work
- if it's just a remote file being delivered over a network protocol,
it usually can work (e.g. files being served over http)
- Some plugins support this, some don't. mp3 seeking over http works
fine, for example.

Patches to add support for more containers and/or more streaming
protocols would be very welcome.

Mike

Re: URL source seeking

Thanks Michael. Is there a list of which plugins in support this?

that list should be in bugzilla. Basically there is abunch of network
sources. If you are talking about http, it probably gnomevfssrc, giosrc
or souphttpsrc. If it crashes for you please check what plugins where in
use (gst-launch -v ... or GST_DEBUG_DUMP_DOT_DIR=$PWD gst-launch ... and
attach the *.dot files)
