[gst-devel] problem to seek mp3

[vincent meserette]

Hi all,

I am a newbie in the use of gstreamer, so I hope you will excuse the
simplicity of my question.
I wrote a little program to play wav and mp3 files with the playbin element,
and a function to seek on this element.
For wav files it works perfectly, but it doesn't seek on mp3 files, even if
I haven't error message from the gst_element_seek function.
Does anyone know from where could come the problem ?

Here is the construction of my pipeline :

     gst_init (0, 0);
     GMainLoop *loop = g_main_loop_new (NULL, FALSE);
    
    // -------------- play with playbin --------------------
    GstElement *play = gst_element_factory_make ("playbin", "play");
    std::string uri="file:///"+pFileName;
    std::cout << "playing " << uri <<  std::endl;
    g_object_set (G_OBJECT (play), "uri", uri.c_str(), NULL);

    GstElement *sink = gst_element_factory_make ("alsasink","sink");
    g_object_set (G_OBJECT (play),"audio-sink", sink, NULL);
 
    GstBus*bus = gst_pipeline_get_bus (GST_PIPELINE (play));
    gst_bus_add_watch (bus, (GstBusFunc) bus_call, thisApp);
    gst_bus_add_signal_watch (bus);
    gst_object_unref (GST_OBJECT (bus));
    gst_element_set_state (play, GST_STATE_PLAYING);
    g_main_loop_run (loop);

And here the seeking function :


void GstPlayer::goToPosition(const float &position)
{
  gint64 fpos=position*GST_SECOND;
  GstQuery *query;
  if (!play)
  {
    std::cout << "play is not construct "<< std::endl ;
    return;
  }
  /**
  * Determine whether we can seek.
  **/
  query = gst_query_new_seeking (GST_FORMAT_TIME);
  while (!gst_element_query (play, query))
  {
    std::cout << "not OK to seek"<< std::endl ;
  }

  GstState state, pending;

  /**
    * Store old state.
    **/
  gst_element_get_state ( play,
                          &state,
                          &pending,
                          0);
  if (pending)
          state = pending;

  /**
    * State to PAUSED.
    **/
  gst_element_set_state (play, GST_STATE_PAUSED);
  
  /**
    * Perform the seek.
    **/
  std::cout << "seeking to " << position << " s" <<  std::endl;
  gst_element_seek (play,
                    1.0,
                    GST_FORMAT_TIME,
                    GST_SEEK_FLAG_FLUSH,
                    GST_SEEK_TYPE_SET,
                    fpos,
                    GST_SEEK_TYPE_NONE, 0);
  /**
    * Restore state.
    **/
  gst_element_set_state (play, state); 

Thanks in advance

Vincent
