try smplayer-0.6.0-alt0.rc2
on my rc2 this not reproduced

plays perfectly

smplayer-0.6.0-alt0.rc2

The situation remains the same.

It seems that on the first play the progress indicator works. But on subsequent
plays it doesn't work.

I checked this on a new user. The first time -- works, the second time --
doesn't work; after `rm -rf .smplayer/' works again, subsequent times doesn't
work again.

No, I was wrong about the test under a new user. Under the new user, it always
works. That time I didn't give him enough rights to access audio.

But under my user the progress indicator never works, even if a delete ~/.smplayer/.

I haven't understood yet what the important difference is...

If I understand this, I'll write.

Under my user "Options" > "View info and properties" shows (NB: length == 0):

one-two.wav

Under the other user where the progress indicator works (NB: length == 7 sec!):

I don't know why.

try to delete ~/.config/RVM/smplayer (i dont' remeber is it actual or not now)

just try again with file you attached - play 3 times, start smplayer again and
play 2 times. Allways show indication.

no, deleting that one didn't help.

But 
$ unset LESSKEY HOSTNAME GPG_AGENT_INFO TMPDIR CVSROOT CCACHE_LOGFILE LIBCM_TFP
QTDIR QTINC http_proxy GCC_USE_CCACHE CCACHE_DIR USERNAME GTKLP_FORCEX MINICOM
MAIL INPUTRC LANG LC_MESSAGES SLINK_DEVICE SSH_ASKPASS TEXINPUTS GPG_TTY
DICTIONARY HOME MONO_EXTERNAL_ENCODINGS BASH_ENV G_FILENAME_ENCODING LESS
LOGNAME TMP QTLIB CVS_RSH MPAGE XDG_DATA_DIRS LESSOPEN LADSPA_PATH
G_BROKEN_FILENAMES

helped (these are almost all variables).

I'm going to investigate which ones are responsible for this bug.

These are not important:

$ unset QTLIB QTINC QTDIR

the bug is present after this.

Ha-ha, LANG was the one. unsetting LANG helped. I have LANG == ru_RU.KOI8-R.

Finally, the test:

in a new user's shell I unset all locale variables (in my case, LANG,
LC_MESSAGES) and:

$ LANG=ru_RU.KOI8-R LC_MESSAGES=POSIX smplayer /usr/share/sounds/KDE_Startup.wav

This way the indicator doesn't work. The combination of the 2 values causes the
bug, any single one of these variables' values doesn't cause the bug.

Aha. That's reproduced :) Veeeery strange LC_MESSAGES and LANG you have there :)

No, I always found this to be a very reasonable combination. I want to have all
the interface messages in the default language (English), because translations
of UI are difficult to understand quickly. But I'm surrounded by Russia and
Russian, so I want all other localizable stuff to be set up for Russian:
filenames might be in Russian, I'm used to the Russian date format, Russian
metric units etc.

New from author.

citation:
"I've just run that command and I can't reproduce the problem, the length is 8
and the slider moves.

Anyway I guess the problem is with the decimals:

>   A:   2,3 (02.2) of 7,0 (07.0)  0,1% 5%

For me it displays this:

A:   5.3 (05.2) of 8.0 (08.0)  0.0%

With a dot, not a comma.
"

Is this bug reproduces with '.' as digit divider ?
What language in smplayer interface?

PS: i never thought that somebody will use smplayer as audio player :)

Of course, as it was shown in the comments above, the problem is connected with
the "strange" locale I have. I even gave there an exact way to reproduce the
problem:

$ LANG=ru_RU.KOI8-R LC_MESSAGES=POSIX smplayer /usr/share/sounds/KDE_Startup.wav


> PS: i never thought that somebody will use smplayer as audio player :)

That's not important; simply, my first thoughts were that this behavior depends
on the input file format.

(In reply to comment #15)

> $ LANG=ru_RU.KOI8-R LC_MESSAGES=POSIX smplayer /usr/share/sounds/KDE_Startup.wav

with other locale/language vars unset.

Perhaps, the author might have no ru_RU.KOI8-R locale in his system, but the
source of the problem should be obvious. Probably there is a mismatch between
the actual decimal format and the expected decimal format somewhere "inside".

Как я понимаю - уже не актуально.
