<div dir="ltr">Hello The actual <a href="https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org">https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org</a> ges-launch tutorial says: "ges-launch-1.0 +clip /path/to/media inpoint=4.0 Assuming "media" is a 10 second long media sample, this will play the sample from the 4th second to the 10th, resulting in a 6-seconds long playback." However, my experience is: ges-launch-1.0 +clip file.ogg inpoint=2 >>>fails with error: ERROR: Could not create timeline because: Couldn't add clip with id file:///path/to/file.ogg to layer with priority -1 ges-launch-1.0 +clip file.ogg inpoint=2 duration=2 >>>succeeds (I see the preview with correct cut) file.ogg contains one video/x-theora stream and is 0:00:24.024000000 long looking through the debug log I find in the case that fails : 0:00:00.140059961 3054 0x111ce30 INFO gestree ges-timeline-tree.c:403:check_track_elements_overlaps_and_values: videourisource0<0x12ea190> [ 0:00:00.000000000 (0:00:02.000000000) - 0:00:24.024000000(0:00:24.024000000) layer: 0] inpoint + duration 26024000000 > max_duration 24024000000 my guess is that the default duration is the total length, therefore an inpoint > 0 will result in failure indeed: ges-launch-1.0 +clip file.ogg inpoint=0 >>>succeeds I am using a self compiled 1.16.0 gstreamer version am I missing something? or should the tutorial be modified, as this is misleading (and it's one of the first examples: newcomers could want to run away?) please apologize for my bad english, and if this is not the right place to post cheers! <div> </div><div>Vince</div></div>
