Does it happen all the time? With all kinds of files (e.g., mp3, ogg)? Do you use the --playbin2 flag? Do you see any error message in the logs or in the terminal (when launched from a terminal)?

Hi François,

Yes, It Happen every time i play a .mp3 file. Tested with .ogg and it's ok.
Now I see an error message in the terminal, and using the --playbin2 flag, the output is the same.

Can you actually hear something while the file is being played? Have you installed the required GStreamer plugins to play MP3 files? This error can happen if the file is not being played, which can happen if the plugin is not installed.

Hi François:
  I can hear any .mp3/.ogg file whitout problems. So I suppose I installed codecs correctly.
  i.e. Songbird/totem/vlc players works fine.
  The GStreamer version is : 0.10.24

Hi, i'm on the same situation.
Gstreamer plugins (bad, ugly, good, very ugly... just kidding), and mp3 issue. it's a great app but it's annoying that the progress bar doesn't move.

Also have the same problem.I fixed it by changing media/audioplayer.py

At the end of the file replace the two functions by this code (I'm just adding the exception):

    def getPosition(self):
        """ Return the current position """
        try:
            return self.player.query_position(gst.FORMAT_TIME)[0]
        except gst.QueryError:
            return 0

    def getDuration(self):
        """ Return the duration of the current stream """
        try:
            return self.player.query_duration(gst.FORMAT_TIME)[0]
        except gst.QueryError:
            return 0

and the progress bar will move once more.

At the end of media/audioplayer.py add the exceptions

Fixed on trunk.
