           Summary: [PATCH] filesrc seekability detection fix (NFS and 2GB+
                    files)
           Product: GStreamer
           Version: HEAD CVS
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal
         Component: gstreamer (core)
        AssignedTo: gstreamer-bugs at lists.sourceforge.net
        ReportedBy: jindrich.makovicka at itonis.tv

     GNOME version: Unspecified
   GNOME milestone: Unspecified


With the current version of filesrc, files larger than 2 gigabytes on NFS are
considered seekable, even if the seeking beyond 2GB boundary is actually
impossible. This can cause the pipeline fail later.

The attached patch modifies filesrc.c to test the seekability by seeking to the
end of the file.
