vlcMedia.duration returns 0 after vlcMedia.parse() but still plays it #54

I have encountered a problem with ".mpg" videos. Files are parsed and only after vlcMedia.parsed is true do I try to access vlcMedia.duration. It works great with all file formats except ".mpg" (MPEG codec). If I open the video with VLC Player, the duration shows fine, it's when I try to get it through code that it doesn't work. The duration always returns 0 even if I do _setTimeOuts _ after parsing. Here is the thing, when played, the duration shows up on the WCJS-PLAYER just fine.

That's part of the WebChimera.js official JS API, so only @RSATom can help with it. :/
