Hi all,
I have the same issue with many different media.
Anyone could help?
Thanks.

You need to wait until the media is preparsed. But even then, most file formats don't provide this information.

Sorry! I forgot to point out that I use this API with live streaming, just like rtsp.

RTSP does not convey frame rate information as far as I know. At least VLC does not support that.

Hi, all,
I found libvlc_media_player_get_fps always return zero even playing local file!

So I think it's a bug and need to fix......thx~~

i have the same problem with vlc 1.0.5.
get_length and get_position functions work well.
But get_fps function always return 0 (in .avi files it works well, problem is in other formats).

Thx for your response,and I just try v1.1 library to get fps and it works. So you can try v1.1 to get fps, but I think there maybe some bugs inside version 1.1, v1.1 need more testing.
