[gst-devel] Results from some quick tests of Totem

[iain]

I dunno if these are helpful, but I saw Julien say that he didn't ave
Totem working so didn't know what was going on with it on IRC
(paraphrased), so I did a quick compile and these are what I found out.

Ronald had mentioned something about scaling issues? Its scaling here
fine.

MPEG works fine, small a/v sync issues on seeking, but seems to correct
itself sometimes.
MOV/AVI/ASF seem to only play audio, but on pausing
ERROR        GST_PADS(12717) gstpad.c(3094):gst_pad_pull:<video_switch> (null)
ERROR        GST_PADS(12717) gstpad.c(3094):gst_pad_pull:<video_switch> NULL buffer during pull on video_switch:sink0
ERROR       scheduler(12717) gstoptimalscheduler.c(2285):gst_opt_scheduler_iterate:<GstOptScheduler at 0x8400598> in error state
and then the application locks hard.
WMV don't seem to work. Status bar prints "0:00 (streaming)" and then
jumps to around 4 seconds and then sits there. Pressing pause returns to
the totem splash screen, and pressing play again gives the above error
message.

Finally on a slightly related note, occasionally when I don't run gst-
register applications crash because gst_init has called g_assert. To the
user, this just looks like a normal crash. Should applications be
calling something different (like gst_init_check) so that they can put
up an information dialog rather than just simply crashing? If so, tell
me what they should be calling, and I'll patch up all the applications
so that they do.
