Hi Tim and everyone, I read in the mailing list that before seeeking is necessary for waiting for the pipeline to preroll, since the pipeline changes its state asynchronically. I use the "get_bus_timed_pop_filtered" function before doing the event seeking as the code below shows. Now it works as expected. Is there a better manner to do this? In the seeking examples I saw this function is barely mentioned, of the contrary seeking event is almost a fashion template procedure. I appreciate any concepts to clarify this issue. Thanks so much.
