I can't obtain vlc.input.length information from avi files, when i use flv files, there is no problem, i don't get it. can you help me?

Code: Select all

      //length of the input file
      var length = vlc.input.length;

      hn = document.getElementById("length");
      hn.innerHTML = 'Length: ' + length + ' ms';
    }

From the plugin (javascript) point of view there is very little you can do about it, method gives a valid response or not. Maybe you must wait for few seconds after a play command before getting an input length? Another is a container codec does not expose a duration for some reason.
