GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 558456
Can't pause a file that was opened via Open Location
Last modified: 2020-03-17 08:27:11 UTC
When you are watching a movie, you see three buttons, at middle you can see the play button. Clicking on it back the movie to the start. And the icon always is an arrow. I think when you are reproducing the button must be a pause icon, And clicking it must to stop / pause the movie. Other information:
It should definitely pause/play when you press that button; sounds like a slightly different bug. Can you test with this video? http://banshee-project.org/files/lrl_2008_banshee.ogg It's an open-source codec and I've tested that it works here. Also, any chance you can test on a newer version? 1.2 or 1.3 feature a lot of changes, some of which may affect this.
I can't test this versions, I'm using debian sid / lenny packages, and they are for banshee 1.0. I try your video, and the same problem appear. The video can't resume and only show a black screen.
I think I've been able to reproduce this with SVN trunk : it only happens when I play the movie through the "Open Location..." menu item. Could you confirm that it is what you were doing ?
Yes, you are right. Openning movie with Right Mouse Button "Open With" and choosing Banshee is all ok. Or playing from Library.

This is not implemented yet, tested under banshee 1.9.0.x series :(
NYI under 2.0 I assume the correct behavior would be to check if a location contains a pause-able stream (or a local file) and then set the correct value for CanPause.
Banshee is not under active development anymore and had its last code changes more than three years ago. Its codebase has been archived. Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping to reflect reality. Please feel free to reopen this ticket (or rather transfer the project to GNOME Gitlab, as GNOME Bugzilla is being shut down) if anyone takes the responsibility for active development again.
