[gst-devel] Playing a queue and tags

[yohann (yrc) coppel]

Hello,

I'm writing (another ;-) ) player with gstreamer, and I have two 
questions/problems....

The first is a problem that I have at the end of a song (or when I want 
to play the next song in the playlist). I say to my player to stop:

[code]
gst_element_set_state (player->thread, GST_STATE_NULL);
gst_element_set_state (player->sink, GST_STATE_NULL);
[/code]

then (after getting the next song path) to play again:

[code]
g_object_set (G_OBJECT (player->source), "location", path, NULL);
gst_element_set_state (player->thread, GST_STATE_PLAYING);
[/code]


there is more in the complete file of course.... I'm sure that the path 
value is ok.

The problem is that after that "next", my player is completely crazy. It 
doesn't play anything, use 100% of CPU time.....
So, What is wrong ?

I've seen in other players that they build each time a new complete 
pipeline :-o !? is-it the right and only way to do ?

// see more code in attachement


The second problem is during tag reading.
I read tags more or less like in a lot of applications i think. I've 
read the code of Rhythmbox, Gamp and Jamboree, and I've tried both 
solutions (I think I remember that Rhythmbox and Gamp use +/- the same 
code).

But tags are not realy read properly.... sometimes they are, sometimes no...
when I parse a complete list of files, +/- 30% of the tags are read. if 
I run again, 15% are read again, and 15 new % are also read... (numbers 
are random....).

Well, I put 2 files of my program as attachment: player.c where I've the 
"next" problem, and tagreader.c where I have the tag problem. If you 
need / want more, tell me, it's of course GPL code...

WARNING: it's a developpement/debugging code, and I've tried a lot of 
things before writing here, so the code may be not the cleanest you've 
seen in your life :-) but it compiles.

Thank' for your help :-)
And congratulation for all the work done about GStreamer :-)

yohann.
