Description Peter Harvey 2006-03-02 06:01:41 UTC 
1. Start a song playing from a playlist
2. Double-click another playlist (which has not been opened before)
3. Rhythmbox will restart the current song, and show "Not playing".

It seems that when double-clicking a playlist (which hasn't been opened in the current instance of Rhythmbox, and so no song was selected) Rhythmbox gets confused. There is no song selected but it must play a song. The end result is that the current song is restarted, but "Not playing" is shown in the UI.

If I select a song in a playlist before double-clicking on it then Rhythmbox behaves as expected.

Could be related to bug #330686.
Comment 2 Peter Harvey 2006-03-02 08:24:55 UTC 
Yes, there does seem to be some general separation between the "current playlist" as seen by the UI and by the underlying engine. Worse, there is separation between "what song is currently playing". I have seen odd UI behaviour which can be blamed on such a separation, though I am generally unable to reproduce it.

It seems to have been introduced recently. Probably somewhere between 0.9.2 and 0.9.3.1, or in the switch to gstreamer 0.10 (I have no idea exactly when that happened though).

I think that this has been fixed yet. It you click once you'll get only a playlist (but no change to current playing song), if you click twice you'll start playing the first song from the playlist.
Comment 5 Lionel Dricot 2008-03-27 19:49:10 UTC 
If you use "intelligent playlist", it's even worse : the song is sometime played, sometime not but nothing is displayed in the "player" row.
Comment 6 Jonathan Matthew 2008-03-27 21:09:49 UTC 
No, this has not been fixed.
