Description

The video player example does not play backwards with negative speed. As soon as the speed is set to negative the following error appears:

(videoPlayerExample:1245556): GStreamer-CRITICAL **: 20:01:26.076: gst_segment_position_from_running_time_full: assertion 'segment->format == format' failed

(videoPlayerExample:1245556): GStreamer-CRITICAL **: 20:01:26.076: gst_segment_do_seek: assertion 'segment->format == format' failed

The error does not occur every frame, only when the speed changes of sign. Once the speed returns to be positive the player works normally (the example does not crash).

Fedora 40
gst-launch-1.0 version 1.24.11
GStreamer 1.24.11

Research direction

Locate the videoPlayer example and reproduce the problem by changing the mouse-controlled speed from positive to negative on Fedora 40 with GStreamer 1.24.11. Read the playback and seek handling around the sign change, then verify that reverse playback works without the reported GStreamer critical assertions and continues to work when returning to positive speed.
