[gst-devel] MPEG playback "fixed"

[Thomas Vander Stichele]

So, I dug in deep today to check why MPEG video doesn't play back
correctly, but AVI does.  I compared two log files.

What happens is that in the MPEG case, the core ends up fixating one of
the links to 1000 Hz.

The pad being negotiated in the MPEG case, though, is
mpeg2dec:user_data.  No wonder it can't fixate :) I'm not sure why this
pad is being used for negotiation at all.  In any case, I removed it for
now so people can fix this bug first.

The two debug logs (from the player example) are up at
http://thomas.apestaart.org/download/tmp/ ;
in the mpeg one, look for user_data and how it fixates to 1000 Hz.

Anyone know what exactly would be the right fix ?

As for service notices, we're still not entirely releaseworthy.  I'm
thinking of doing a 0.7 release again today, and hope we can test it
hard for the last important bugs.  What do you think ?
