Playbin2 looping problem

[Marlon Smith]

Hi everyone,

I've seen mentions of similar problems on the GStreamer mailing lists,
but I haven't been able to find a solution.  My problem is this:

I'm using playbin2 version 0.10.36 and I'm trying to loop a video.
According to the documentation, I should be able to set the uri property
while a video is playing, and when the current video is done it will
play the new one.  The problem is, the video only plays every second
time.  Every other time the video is frozen on the screen for the
duration of the video.

At first I tried using the about-to-finish signal to change the uri.
After a while, I just decided to set the uri at one second intervals,
constantly.  Both methods produce the same result.  I've also tried
watching for the EOS message and seeking to zero, but that seems to
cause different problems (the seek is slow and unreliable, and does not
give the seamless loop effect that I need).

I'm using a system that is pretty locked into GStreamer version 0.10 so
it would be difficult to upgrade to 1.0.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Marlon
