#13190 assigned bug

Videos created with mediakit are missing duration

Description

Videos created on Haiku using the mediakit are missing the duration. Net effect is that playing them with mediaplayer shows a knob that does not move. You can reproduce it by converting a video using MediaConverter, or capturing something with BeScreenCapture.

Using BeScreenCapture, clips created with MPEG/Mpeg4 are created with the correct duration. AVI/Mpeg4 are not. It's not completely clear if it's an encoding problem or a decoding one, or both.

New informations are hinting towards an encoding issue:

Download one of the AVI sample files here: https://file-examples.com/index.php/sample-video-files/sample-avi-files-download/

for example, this one:

https://file-examples-com.github.io/uploads/2018/04/file_example_AVI_1280_1_5MG.avi

Reproduce it with MediaPlayer: it shows the duration.

Convert it using MediaConverter, to an AVI/MPEG4 file with 100% quality.

Open it with MediaPlayer: it won't show duration.
