Are you using GStreamer by itself or are you using it through the clutter-gst stuff? Are you reading the TV streams from the socket and writing to a file, and then telling GStreamer to play the file? It sounds like what is happening is that GStreamer is reading the length of the file when you tell it to start playing and then stops after that. Maybe using a GstFDSrc on the socket would work (and then also having a queue in it to provide buffering) iain -- To unsubscribe send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
