The latter would require possibly some sort of indexing in the flac file to quickly know which range in the compressed file to look at and the gstramer source be able to translate that into desired byte-ranges (one could also probably do some approximate skipping given the observed/estimated compression factor).

In order to 'properly' skip somewhere in the middle of the file, it either has to go there byte-by-byte until it finds it or it has to be done using HTTP byte ranges: this would require that the Twonky NAS can do byte ranges (It should have Accept-Ranges: bytes in HTTP response headers) and that gstreamer can convert seek requests to request byte ranges from the server (e.g. In particular the observation that eventually after a minute or so it arrives seems to indicate that.Īfter all, the serving of the file is done via http from the server. Ĭould it be a combination of slow network and gstreamer somehow walk through the whole file until it finds something ? If there is a wireless connection used, this might take a while if we skip 30min of a flac. Logs begin at Wed 16:01:10 CEST, end at Wed 16:16:45 CEST. Source is on NAS, Twonky Version: 7.2.9-6.

The file was local on my Smartphone 16bit 44kHz It does not matter how long and what resolution flacs have.
