GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 346998
Ogg Vorbis internet streams stop on song change
Last modified: 2006-07-10 10:56:26 UTC
While playing a Ogg Vorbis internet radio stream (pick any on www.icecast.org), GStreamer will stop playing whenever the track changes. This used to work in older versions - I believe 0.10.4 was good. You can test it with this pipeline (excuse the music choice): gst-launch-0.10 gnomevfssrc location=http://la.campus.ltu.se:8000/stream.ogg.m3u ! decodebin ! audioconvert ! alsasink
This looks very much like bug #320984 (I'm surprised it worked before though - if it did maybe something has changed server-side?) *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 320984 ***
I'm certain this worked fine in older versions, and it's not related to server changes. I'm working on an Internet radio player (Sputnik) based on GStreamer, and I use my own server with Ogg Vorbis streams for testing while developing it. Song changes weren't a problem until recently, I've played multi-song Vorbis streams for more than 8 hours continuously without problems. I can try to downgrade to an older version and track down where the problem first appeared.
Grabbing the stream with wget and analyzing it with oggzinfo does suggest that it contains multiple chains though (which has never worked reliably in 0.10, see the other bug report) > I can try to downgrade to an older version and track down where the problem > first appeared. That would be great :)
