GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 554772
sometimes stop playing when using crossfading and searching
Last modified: 2018-05-24 13:41:29 UTC
the bug has been described on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rhythmbox/+bug/253570 "There seems to be some kind of race condition that, given the right timing, will stop the current song from playing if search results are empty. I'm currently on intrepid with rhythmbox 0.11.6. It seems I can only reproduce the problem with cross-fade enabled and in an automatic listing. Because it is very probably a timing issue, I suggest placing your system under load when testing for this. (disk IO may help). So here are some steps again: 1. Create an automatic playlist 2. Make sure cross-fading is enabled in the preferences 3. If possible, use Vorbis VBR files 4. Make sure there is some load on the system. Although this is not really needed, it may help in enlarging the window of opportunity. 5. While playing a song, type something in the search bar. Try different key strokes with different delays, use backspace if needed. It may very well be that this bug: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=553230 is related to this problem, as it seems to do with song end signals and time problems when the crossfading is enabled. http://launchpadlibrarian.net/18138503/rhythmbox_debuglog.txt * rhythmbox_debuglog.txt (27.6 KiB, text/plain)"
I've just tried it and this bug still exists in rhythmbox 0.12.6 (Ubuntu Karmic), no change in behavior.
