GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 540178
Cover art timeout should not be 20s, but more like 5s.

Currently the lastfm servers are having some trouble serving their coverart images. This results in waiting 20s for every single album that needs coverart, which is highly annoying. A timeout for more than 5s should be unnecessary, if the server is always that slow in responding at all it, does more harm then good implementing a provider for it. But if 5s is to low in your opinion, please at max make it 10s.
Created attachment 113404 [details] [review] Change from 20s to 5s in timeout in the MetaDataServiceJob GetHttpStream method
FYI: The reference to coverart from lastfm applies to the lastfm metadata provider, which is not (yet) included in Banshee. I am not talking about the lastfm radio or other plugins. The mentioned timeout value applies to all the metadata providers: musicbrainz, rhapsody, and future ones.
Committed to 10s, thanks Peter.
