No time display for ts files and ts streams

[dipvlc]

When I play ts files, which have been recorded with my digital Sat receiver Dreambox DM8000, neither the current playing time nor the complete time is displayed in vlc. Instead time display always stucks at 00:00/00:00. Clicking into the time display (which should toggle present playing time and remaining time) does also have not effect.

This happens for recordings from HD and from SD broadcast stations. And it happens both when I play the stored ts file from a local disc as well as when I stream it from my Dreambox over the network to the PC.

If I play mpeg files or DVD-iso files playtime and complete time as well as remaining time are correctly displayed.

This happens with the current release 1.0.5 as well as with 1.1.0 RC on Windows XP.

Is that a known problem?

Yes. VLC doesn't calculate duration for Transport Stream files. This might change at some point in future.

Thanks for the clarification. So I will wait for a future version.
