Hi,
I have a simple pipeline: filesrc -> decodebin ..... -> appsrc
which works just fine but I am having problems getting an accurate duration query. I am using:
gst_element_query_duration(GST_ELEMENT(pGstPipeline), GST_FORMAT_TIME, &lDuration));
which always gives me a duration of 99:99:99.999999999.
The files I am using are the big buck bunny files which appear to be correctly formatted containers. When I use gst-discoverer-1.0 on these files its reports the correct duration of 0:09:56.461666666. So it appears that container files have the duration. I have tried to call the query on various elements in the pipeline but still I get the incorrect duration. In a similar way, I am querying the position during playback using:
gst_element_query_position(GST_ELEMENT(pGstPipeline), GST_FORMAT_TIME, &lPosition));
and it works correctly.
So what is the secret to getting the duration of a media file?
