for some strream length returned stay at 0

[kodeplateform]

Hello,

Thanks for your library.

I use it in combination with Jetpack Compose Multiplatform on the desktop side. I'm facing a problem with the length (duration) of streams. For some streams, the length returned by lengthChanged(mediaPlayer: MediaPlayer, newLength: Long) is 0, and the same issue occurs with val duration = mediaPlayer.media().info().duration(), even if it is called after the stream has started to play.

For info , on android side , i'm able to get the correct duration with exoplayer

If the length is reported at 0, then that's what VLC thinks the length is, vlcj just tells you what VLC says the length is.

So the reality is I'm afraid nothing can be done in vlcj to resolve this.

What might be interesting if you use VLC on Android, do you see a non-zero length reported?

(Presumably this is not a live-stream or something with no known end?)

Hello,

Thanks for your response.

Indeed, when using VLC Player, the duration is not displayed, but interestingly, the progress bar works for tracking the advancement and allows jumping directly to a specific position in the video.

I really don't think there's anything can be "fixed" in vlcj here, so closing issue. It can be reopened if new information comes to light.
