moving track progressbar to the beginning of a track -> "Could not decode stream."

This bug has been reported here: https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/1700 "1. Start rhythmbox 2. Start playing a track (I have only tested vith ogg-files) 3. Locate the track progressbar in the upper right corner 4. Pull the progressbar all the way to the left (the begginning of the track) Rhythmbox should start playing the track from the beginning. Instead it spawns an error window: "Error: Could not decode stream" After this rhythmox segfaults and has to be killed manually. This is reproducable. (gdb) bt
+ Trace 50440
This is with Rhythmbox 0.8.5, system updated 2004-09-24 around noon. Oh, before I kill the process this is repeated again and again: (rhythmbox:9835): Gtk-CRITICAL **: file gtkwidget.c: line 3359 (gtk_widget_event ): assertion `WIDGET_REALIZED_FOR_EVENT (widget, event)' failed" Not sure if that's the same problem here, I get the "could not decode stream" but no crash and no error. Versions here: rhythmbox 0.8.6 gstreamer 0.8.5 gst-plugins 0.8.4
Seems to only happens with the first track of a playlist. Same error happens if I click on the previous song button.
Hmm. This must be some recent GStreamer issue.
I don't get a segfault either, by the way.
This is the same as: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=150061 Keeping this open as a tracker for me.
I worked around this in the Fedora GStreamer packages by just patching out the error. Not beautiful, but it works, and may be the right thing, it's a bit unclear.

What is the status on that? Are you waiting for a real fix on gstreamer side, or would it make sense to have your workaround in the 0.8 branch for now?
With current version of rhythmbox/gstreamer/gst-plugins if you click on the "previous song" button while reading an ogg it just freezes rhythmbox, pretty annoying ...
Not sure, I think removing the error is probably a reasonable fix, but it would require someone who knew more about Ogg and Vorbis to say for sure.
there is no error with the current version, rhythmbox just freezes
Even with the patch to remove the error from gstreamer-plugins?
which patch ? I've gst-plugins 0.8.5 and there is no patch in this bug report ...
#150061 is fixed in GStreamer CVS. Marking as fixed here as well, walters, reopen it if you want to keep it open for some reason ;)
