[Bug 35052] Re: GStreamer/Totem crashes when seeking in H264 video's

[Sander van Loon]

Hmm, if you can't download that let me give another example then:


Mercurial -> http://www.own-age.com/vids/video.aspx?id=7583 another Quake 3 trick movie, this one is 245 MB, probably still large but 100 MB less than the first example. In the download list, choose the x264 version.

This is a link to good download mirror, I just downloaded it from here and it went fine with a high d/l speed ->

I should also note that the nature of the problem has changed a bit. That's probably because there have been some updates to gstreamer in the repository since I filed this bug. When I use seeking now, the video is heavily distorted for a few seconds, before returning to normal.


I've identified some other problems as well:

In this movie - http://www.own-age.com/vids/video.aspx?id=7359 - a Doom 3 movie of 25 MB, I do not see the distortion, but I do have the unresponsiveness for a few secs when I'm seeking. Link to a good download mirror -> http://download.levitation-gaming.com/index.php?action=download&fileid=2202

This movie -> http://www.own-age.com/vids/video.aspx?id=7583 (a trailer of a Q3 trick movie, 11 MB) will not play at all. Totem will give the error message "could not decode stream". This is strange because this vid comes in mp4 format, has video encoded with H264 and audio in AAC, just like the movie Mercurial which I mentioned above. Though they use the same format and codecs, Mercurial will play but this movie will not play. Link to a good download mirror -> http://www.own-age.com/vids/mirrors.aspx?id=7583&dlmirror=14390

One more thing, I'm having these problems with GStreamer, I'm not using the Xine backend for Totem.
