Description

On linux ubuntu 14.03.04 LTS with GStreamer 1.2.4

Querying the duration when in pause mode triggers an error

ofGstUtils: getDurationNanos(): couldn't query time duration

I tested with fingers.mov, big_buck_bunny.mp4 and other movies.
I tested with 0.9.0 and the nightly builds.

Research direction

Reproduce the duration query failure while playback is paused on Ubuntu 14.03.04 with GStreamer 1.2.4, using fingers.mov or big_buck_bunny.mp4. No source file or test is named in the issue; done means the duration query no longer reports an error in pause mode.
