GetDirtion DirectShow dà valore di durata errato

Question

Sto cercando di ottenere la durata del file multimediale con DirectShow.Io uso il codice seguente (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;
}

.

Per ottenere la durata del file multimediale in secondi.Tuttavia, quando provo ad aprire 3-4 minuti di file MP3, Track.Duration diventa 11-12 minuti.Ho provato su più file ed effetto è sempre lo stesso.Quale potrebbe essere la ragione?

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.
