Hi,
Note using the PPA: ppa:jon-hedgerows/get-iplayer
get_iplayer 2.84-2-g21e11de-ppa15
RTMPDump v2.4-n78-git3a1e20c-ppa8~precise
avconv version 0.8.9-4:0.8.9-0ubuntu0.12.04.1
VLC media player v. 2.0.8
OS: Linux Mint 13 'Maya' LTS (basically Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 'Precise Pangolin')
Recently I installed Mint 13 having been using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS 'Lucid
Lynx' until last week.
The following has started happening since the new OS was installed:
When playing radio programmes I've downloaded using get_iplayer in VLC
the duration time jumps around instead of displaying an accurate fixed
time, it constantly changes (usually in the region of 2-3 mins longer
than the real duration). The playing time works correctly, each second
ticking over at the correct rate, and the audio plays fine.
I can fix this by re-encoding the downloaded MP3 file with Lame, e.g.
below. Once this is done the duration time works normally showing an
accurate fixed time as you would expect.
lame -V 2 InFile.mp3 OutFile.mp3
My standard radio download command is:
gip --type=radio --modes=best --force --aactomp3 --mp3vbr 2 --get num
However all the variations I've tried also result in the same problem. e.g.
gip --type=radio --modes=best --force --aactomp3 --get num
gip --type=radio --modes=best --force --aactomp3 --mp3vbr 0 --get num
gip --type=radio --force --aactomp3 --mp3vbr 0 --get num
Adding "--lame /usr/bin/lame" also made no difference but I don't think
Lame was even used, so probably this option applies to something else.
I get these messages in my terminal but I think I've always had them in
the past (certainly the 'Estimating duration' one) or something similar?!

Any ideas what's going wrong and how to fix this?
Thanks.
