[ubuntu-mono] [Bug 869301] Re: Banshee track slider shows total play time instead of position in current track

[Robert Lange]

I have looked into it more and the problem does not appear when playing
OGG Vorbis files, but does when playing FLAC files.  GStreamer appears
to have plugins to parse files to get things like padding.  It has such
a plugin for Vorbis, which I think, is why Banshee shows the correct
track position for Vorbis files, even when in gapless mode.  GStreamer
has no plugin for parsing FLAC files (or at least, I did not see one) so
I think that is why it has no way of knowing, in gapless mode, when one
FLAC ends and another begins.

I have included a link to the upstream GStreamer bug report.

** Summary changed:

- Banshee track slider displaying incorrectly, incorrect time
+ Banshee track slider shows total play time instead of position in current track

  Banshee track slider shows total play time instead of position in
  current track

Bug description:
  Recently discovered a bug with Banshee. The track slider/skipper
  displays the correct time periods for the first track off an album,
  but then instead of sliding when the next track is played it stays
  static and the track time displayed below displays the total of the
  tracks played rather than per song.

  I have attached a screenshot

  Cheers
