gst123 player - Seek is failing

[spattar]

Hello All,

I downloaded gst123 & installed in my Ubuntu system. then I tried to play a mp3 file. it plays fine but

seek is always failing (gst_element_seek is returning false)

The same thing works in another Linux box.

What could be the problem ?

Thanks & Regards,

Hard to say without more information.

Does seeking work with the same file(s) in totem or rhythmbox?

Maybe you need to install the mp3parse/mpegaudioparse elements because
your mp3 decoder doesn't support seeking? Depending on your version of
the GStreamer stack, these might be in gst-plugins-bad, gst-plugins-ugly
or gst-plugins-good. Or you could try installing the 'mad' mp3 decoder.

Hi Tim,

Thank you very much for your information. After installing mad plugin(gstreamer-ugly plugins), gst_element_seek is success.

But forward seek is fine but backward is not happening instantaneous,
meaning if I seek backward for say 10 sec , I dont hear anything for 10sec & then it plays from the new seek position (i.e., current_pos - 10 sec).

But however I don't see this problem in my another setup.

Do you need any additional information.

Thanks ,
Satish P
