Hello Forum,
I was wondering about playback of growing files. I’m not sure, but this was working in older versions. I tried playing in multiple 2.4 and 2.5 versions without success, layer always had static duration detected in moment of play. All files I tried were XDCAM.
Is there an other way to achieve this, or if it’s not available, plan to implement in future?
Thank you.
Hi,
I’m not sure how CasparCG is writing the MXF files, but from my broadcast experience, thus normally means the MXF header does contain a length instead of a -1 wich is the indicator to search in the footer for the length. The footer can be easily updated whilst the header stays untouched or is updated once whenthe file is closed. But it could lead to compatibility issues in other programs, so this mode should not be the standard.
Not a solution but maybe an explanation for further investigation.
