Me again ;)

VLC 0.8.6c on Windows XP Pro SP2 (new PC, not the same as before)

I am playing a MP3 file and :
- the progress bar (slider) is correct
- the display is completely false, for example , 10 seconds after starting the playback it shows 0:00:10/0:00:00, if I move the the slider toward the end, it will show 0:00:11/0:00:00 and continue to count from 11 on ( 12, 13, ...). The record is about 60 minutes long.

Regards,
David

That just mean that VLC can't detect the complete time. This depends a lot on the format.

How does it then display the slider position ?
Guesstimate ?
It appears pretty accurate.

xerces8 have you tried to "fix" the file with some audio fixing software? like mp3trim and cut small fraction from end of the file.

It seems to happen with all FLAC files.
for example : http://revmanrecordings.com/FLAC/Califo ... ack01.flac

I tried vlc-0.9.0-git-20080620-0050 and there it is ok.
