[gst-devel] Help on souphttpsrc

[snvd1]

Hi Arnout, thanks for help.

I did change seeking by bytes, now the seeking is successful, but playing
after that freezes. The URL is too long, so I did put in my original post, I
tested it with wget as you adviced, len is reported, here is the URL:

http://vp.video.google.com:80/videodownload?version=0&secureurl=pwAAALxRpszUgTK_K_xaZ04iy5twIwiMBWR6G-P45DX_bflgErWPVfqlFRpAIRXPH0_f_S-vjr5fsjelV_b5a60KGO9-J5oM9waHrXbIp9TGcWil_918u10kdE07KD02uypssqtNkGBYhLcEBNsiUOVTSQesba0hY6i9lc5MslYTZmYH-KQCUNwMPL-Atkb15uIOeyUgx6uFXC-CGZLBbGzc-v99UGEyk_rCk0JSgNwzOdmX&sigh=5MvtdS0Pg_tizyUqpTRfwhK0Smk&begin=0&len=219000&docid=-3666353226986284383&client=655722610335

You and Tim both mentioned demuxer, I use decodebin, my pipeline looks like:

souphttpsrc  ! decodebin name=decoder decoder. ! queue ! audioconvert !
audioresample ! osssink decoder. ! videoscale ! ffmpegcolorspace !
xvimagesink

Do you see any problem in this pipeline?

Thanks so much for your help
