phonon VideoPlayer refresh

[rbp]

what does BE stand for?

yeah I've tried repaint() and update() but they don't make a difference. I suspected this was because the seeking is done asynchronously so at the time I call repaint() the player has not updated yet. However even when I tried calling repaint() periodically (every 100ms) the videoplayer still got stuck as before.

Maybe it is not intended to be used as you want (that means not supported) or just wrongly supported (bug).

BE stands for Backend, so: Which backend do you use (gstreamer or xine on Linux, DS9 on Win or qt7 on Mac)?
This would help looking into the sources for detailed handling of VideoWidget and MediaObject of these backends for your case.

But you are right: Currently there doesn't seem to be a signal like seekFinished. Only the tick interval may help (but for sure you only need a one time shot).

from a discussion on the QT-interest mailing list I found that it is a codec problem. When I tried wmv files instead the seek worked but not for avi (which are smaller so I assume more compressed).
