[gst-devel] Seeking & Tag problems with playbin

[Martin Emrich]

Hi!

I have two problems:

1) When I try to seek in a file (currently playing), the track position 
sometimes resets to the beginning, and a piece of the track beginning is 
played, before
jumping to the position I want to jump to. Here is what I do, to jump forward 
five seconds:

gint seek_secs=5;
gst_element_seek(playbin, 
				  1.0, 
				  GST_FORMAT_TIME, 
				  GST_SEEK_FLAG_FLUSH,
				  GST_SEEK_TYPE_CUR,
				  seek_secs*1000000000,
				  GST_SEEK_TYPE_NONE,
				  GST_CLOCK_TIME_NONE);
What is the best way to implement seeking like a CD Player (fast stuttering 
seek while the seek key is pressed)?


2) When I have e.g. an MP3 file with ID3v1 and ID3v2 tags both set,
I get the tag entries twice, with a comma in between. I tried every merge 
mode, but either I get nothing (empty string), or both entries. Is there a 
way to say "Try both tags types, but ID3v2 has a higher priority"?

If you want, you can try out my player:

Thanks for any help!
