Description Sebastien Bacher 2007-03-06 21:33:05 UTC
That bug has been described on https://launchpad.net/bugs/89588

"Binary package hint: rhythmbox

Steps to reproduce:

1) Pick an mp3 file and play it. (NOTE: I say mp3 because I have not had a chance to test other filetypes)
2) At some point in the song, seek backwards to some point.
3) In about five seconds, the song will skip forwards about 5-10 seconds
...
> Thank you for your bug. Does it happen only with mp3? Does it happen with any file? Could you try if that happens with totem-gstreamer? Could you get a "rhythmbox -d" log and one when using "GST_DEBUG_NO_COLOR=1 GST_DEBUG=5 rhythmbox &>log"?

The first log

It only happens with mp3, I just tested. I tested a variety of different mp3 files, and found the bug only occurs with specific ones. I would attach those files if it wasn't copyright infringement.

I think it may be due to bad encoding of such files.

Here are the logs you've requested:

The second log

And the second log, with GST_DEBUG_NO_COLOR=1 GST_DEBUG=5
...
Update: It happens with totem-gstreamer with the said files as well"

I would like to confirm that I also experience this bug. It also skips when seeking forwards.
Comment 2 brackbillbruce 2007-04-20 06:58:51 UTC
I also see this bug ( rhythmbox-0.9.8-2.fc6 )
Comment 3 Cragin 2007-05-08 08:44:43 UTC
I have the same problem (rhythmbox-0.9.8-2.fc6) and I've been unable to find a file that won't skip.
Comment 4 Tim-Philipp Müller 2007-05-08 09:34:19 UTC
Does this happen both with the fluendo mp3 decoder (gstreamer0.10-fluendo-mp3 package) and the 'mad' decoder from gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly, or only with one of them?
Comment 5 brackbillbruce 2007-05-08 17:11:52 UTC
I don't have gstreamer0.10-fluendo-mp3
Comment 6 sedillard 2007-07-20 02:42:55 UTC
I can confirm this with rhythmbox and totem. It's a gstreamer bug, most likely.
Comment 7 Wim Taymans 2008-11-03 15:41:28 UTC
Can anyone still reproduce this with latest versions?
Comment 8 brackbillbruce 2008-11-30 05:27:59 UTC
Wow, I haven't used Rhythmbox in a long time.

Anyway, I downloaded a couple of random mp3's, played them with Rhythmbox and I no longer see the "skips" problem.

I have Fedora 9 with all updates and the latest release of the free and non-free gstreamer and a whole bunch of other stuff from rpmfusion. 

I do NOT have the fluendo package.

Cheers

This issue seems obsolete as per comment #8. Please reopen if you still experience this issue!
