Gstreamer-sharp 1.16 Playbin "Could not query current duration."

Question

I am trying to run C# sample BasicTutorial4.cs from Gstreamer-sharp's 1.16 own source, Video plays fine, but I can't get video duration it always files with error: "Seeking DISABLED for this stream."

I tried different file, other than default bick buck bunny video but result is the same.

I have installed gstreamer-1.0-mingw-x86_64-1.16.2, in windows 10.

Is this bug in Gstreamer framework or am I doing something wrong ?

Answer 1

I haven't used GStreamer for years, but I would suggest having a look at the Discoverer. Some file formats are not seekable.
