Created attachment 5082 In playlist time is wrong Parole show an wrong estimated time of a song in playlist but in main interface is correctly. Check attachment.
Hello! This may be related to this GStreamer bug: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=682211 Could you please test this by building parole with --with-gstreamer=1.0
We've just merged our Gtk3 branch to master, could you please try to compile Parole again with gst1.0 and see whether your bug has been fixed? Thanks!
To our knowledge, this happens when gstreamer reads or estimates the length of a file incorrectly (this might also be related to missing/wrong VBR headers in files). Music-managers like gmusicbrowser check each file when adding it, leading to some overhead when first adding music, but it keeps the retrieved length in a database-file. As Parole is not a "manager" in this sense and doesn't keep a persistent database, this approach is useless here. Accessing each file when added to the playlist creates useless overhead. Better to 1) fix your audio-files (or their VBR headers) or 2) live with the glitch and be happy the real playtime shows when you hear the song.
