[Gambas-bugtracker] Bug #2715: MediaPlayer_Duration event is zero

[bugtracker at gambaswiki.org]

http://gambaswiki.org/bugtracker/edit?object=BUG.2715&from=L21haW4-

Bruce STEERS reported a new bug.

Summary
-------

MediaPlayer_Duration event is zero

Type             : Bug
Priority         : Medium
Gambas version   : Master
Product          : Multimedia components


Description
-----------

When you set the URL of a MediaPlayer it fires a Duration Event.

Duration is always 0 of course because the media has not yet been played.

When you play the media it does not fire a Duration event with the correct duration.

I think triggering the Duration Event when loading URL and Duration is zero is useless.
I think the Duration event triggering as soon as duration is known would be very useful.
