VLC shows incorrect video duration in some videos generated using gstreamer applicationusing

[m_dkman]

Greetings,

I have been searching for a solution for this issue for almost two weeks now but i couldn't a viable solution for it.

I have a software that record videos, and the issue that for some videos VLC would show incorrect time length of 12 hours, but for some videos it will show a correct duration of 3 minutes.

I have tried to compare the the metadata of both videos and both are the same and show the same fps, duration and codec.

I have tried to use another video player which was working correctly. all videos was showing correct timeline.

I have checked my videos on VLC for Linux Ubuntu and windows and both show the same behavior with the same videos.

Note: I have noticed that if i converted the video format from mp2 to mp4 it will show the time correctly.

Is there something that I'm missing?

VLC Version on both Linux and windows is 3.0.18 Vetinari

These are the metadata of both videos using mediainfo tool
