Hi all, A while back (Feb 11) Stephen Commiskey sent mail to this list with the subject : "Seeking in a saved stream; or, Why isn't that sucker valid?". Stephen had some problems with streams he saved from the BBC that gave him all sorts of weird errors and resulted in his not being able to seek in his saved streams. I tried the same thing immediately (never saved an oggstream before) and noticed that I got similar results. It seemed the general notion at the end of the thread was that there was an issue with 'granulepos' not starting at zero in saved streams with software depending on just that. Now that I've saved a couple of streams and want to seek in them, I'm wondering if there's some updates available somewhere, or a tool that can fix this for me (subtract the first granulepos-value from all others. I dont know if that'll do the trick, but in my non-technical opinion it sounds like it should). Anyone in the know have a fix or some tool ? Perhaps updates are available in CVS ?

OOH! <shameless freeloader>Would anyone care to recompile the WinAmp 2.x plugin to support this properly? Better still, would anyone like to recompile some of the CoolEdit plugins to support this?</shameless freeloader> Incidentally, I discovered that streams that have been properly cleaned up (as was suggested at the time) with vorbiscomment have an interesting property, at least as regards the Winamp plugin: if you consider this to be a mere fragment of the stream that is as long as its endtime says it is, and then seek to the desired time relative to the end of the stream (rather than the beginning), you'll get the result you want. For example, using my BBC streams: they're started 10 minutes early (b/c they're an at job; I know I should just go to cron but... lazy). Each is ended about 10 minutes late. Total: 140 minutes of ogg. If you get a total length of 7000 minutes, then use Winamp's direct seek-to-time of (say) 6950 minutes, you get 50 minutes from the end. I cannot seek back and forth a few seconds doing this, but at least I can skip the annoying 10-minute intros. --- >8 ---- List archives: http://www.xiph.org/archives/ Ogg project homepage: http://www.xiph.org/ogg/ To unsubscribe from this list, send a message to 'vorbis-request@xiph.org' containing only the word 'unsubscribe' in the body.
