DirectShow GetDuration da valor de duración incorrecto

Question

Estoy tratando de obtener la duración del archivo de medios con DirectShow.Yo uso el siguiente código (C #):

var seekingParser = filter as IMediaSeeking;
if (seekingParser != null)
{
   long duration;
   if (seekingParser.SetTimeFormat(TimeFormat.MediaTime) == 0
       && seekingParser.GetDuration(out duration) == 0)
       track.Duration = duration / 10000000f;
}

Para obtener la duración del archivo de medios en segundos.Sin embargo, cuando intento abrir archivos MP3 de 3-4 minutos, la pista.duración se convierte en 11-12 minutos.Lo intenté en múltiples archivos y el efecto es siempre el mismo.¿Cuál puede ser la razón?

Answer 1

You normally use IMediaPosition interface (instead of IMediaSeeking) from the application side. Duration is reported always in seconds. However this is unlikely to make a difference, and what might make it is reading duration from ID3 tags instead, using Windows Media API, ID3 Tag Support.

Are there more reliable ways to get exact duration of media file with DirectShow API?

Windows Media Player plays MP3 files through Media Foundation, a non-DirectShow API, so you don't have an option here to expect or do exactly the same from DirectShow.

Answer 2

From the documentation:

Depending on the source format, the duration might not be exact. For example, if the source contains a variable bit-rate (VBR) stream, the method might return an estimated duration.

Are you using a VBR stream, by any chance?

Answer 3

You can try the same on a clean windows installation. It might be possible you have a codec(pack) installed which is buggy.
