Description tonikelope 2021-07-08 13:51:25 UTC

Would it be possible to allow jumping to a certain time position? Right now if I try to jump forward the cursor returns to its original position.

Thank you.

Hi,

This seems to be a bug in QtMultimedia that happens with online streams
(in contrast to local files).

As far as I can see, the code in AudioTube is already correct. I hope
the QtMultimedia rewrite in Qt6 will finally fix it. Maybe I can find a
workaround in the meantime.

Thank you.

In the meantime I have found out a bit more about this: seeking in streams doesn't seem to work with any gstreamer-based application. AudioTube uses gstreamer indirectly through QtMultimedia.

Native package (top) and Flatpak (bottom) seek bars

I have the same issue on the Flatpak version of Audiotube, but not on the Native package version from the Nobara 42 repo.

Examining both, it seems the Flatpak version implements its own seek bar, while the Native version uses the default QT/KDE sliders (that are the same as other sliders from my QT theme). See the attached screenshot. Maybe that's part of the problem?

This is just wrong, the code is exactly the same. The only difference is the version of GStreamer. I'm pretty sure they just finally fixed the bug in GStreamer and it will be fixed in the flatpak version as well as soon as we move to the 25.08 version of the freedesktop sdk.
