smplayer-14.9.0-1.fc20.x86_64
I have an mp3 file (a chant/prayer), which smplayer says has
only 6+ minutes duration.
However, the progress indicator shows it will play way up to
termination at 1:15:30.
Is there something in the file that can be tweaked to make smplayer
display the correct time length of the file?
Thanx.
What does
exiftool myfile.mp3 | grep Duration
Show?
If the value is incorrect you can use exiftool to modify it.
$ exiftool New_Chants.mp3
.
.
.
Duration : 1:15:55 (approx)
And, you're saying 1:15:55 is correct, yes?
Where do you see the 6 minutes indication exactly?
I suppose I would also check to see that in the output of exiftool that the "Length" is appropriate for the Duration.
I see it in the playlist of smplayer, on the right edge column of the playlist.
The length is indeed appropriate because it acutally does play for 1:15:55
as indicated on the bottom black bar of smplayer, on the right side (corner).
and, I have actually listened to the whole thing for 1 hour and 15 minutes+.
Noteworthy: the progress block (which moves from left to right) on the gui display
of smplayer moves from start to end in 6 minutes and 19 seconds, and then
moves back to beginning of line, but audio file continues to play for 1 hour and 15 minutes+.
Another useful piece of info is: auto replay is disabled (no looping),
and there are no other files in the playlist.
So, the information in the file is correct. But, all the displays of smplayer are showing incorrect information.
Have you've tried another player such as vlc or rhythmbox and they are OK?
Tried vlc.
Weird thing with vlc is that for more than a minute it kept changing it's
mind about the duration - from 10:30 to 10:28 to 10:27 to 10:26 to 10:25
and stayed at 10:25. It ends at 10:24 and stops.
Whereas smplayer continues for 1:15:55
Rhythembox thinks it is 10:33 long and actually stops after 10:33.
I am beginning to wonder how the file was created. I had downloaded
it from a website that provides free chant mp3's.
