Description Fabien Basmaison 2009-02-09 07:03:28 UTC 
Without a good network (for instance in China), it gets impossible to play last.fm (and possibly other streamed sources) without increasing the buffer size.
Problem is: No option anywhere to change this setting, be it in conf. files or banshee's UI.

Solution: Allow user to set a value for buffer size, at least in some file, but it might be better in banshee's UI.

This bug affects me too. I'm sure there used to be a way to change it in the gstreamer settings, but it seems to have vanished in the current Ubuntu 9.04.

Bug #546674 is related, though it's about behaving better while buffering, not setting the buffer size.
Comment 4 Tero Niemi 2012-11-22 14:49:49 UTC 
Could you please make this value customizable, either via GUI or via config file.

Currently I have to use VLC for my Internet radio (buffer size 45 seconds).

Agreed, would be nice to have the buffer size customizable. http://stedentrippers.nl

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 Its codebase has been archived.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.
