The VideoLAN Forums

The following functions don't work with .ts files.

libvlc_media_player_get_time
libvlc_media_get_duration
libvlc_media_player_get_length
libvlc_media_player_get_fps

All are returning 0 even after the media has been playing for some time. Problem exists with 9.8 on through the latest build RC of 1.1.

Any thoughts?? Need these to get the timeline on videos.

Thanks,

Current VLC builds don't know how to calculate length of TS files. Also FPS can change in TS file, so get_fps isn't very reliable.

does anyone know if any progress has been made with this? would be a really handy feature

No progress.
