GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 582090
totem handles non-existent playlist songs poorly
Last modified: 2009-05-10 21:17:20 UTC
Please describe the problem: When I load a playlist (I used .m3u format) into totem, it will happily load in all the songs listed even if they don't exist. Of course once the music has been playing for a while it eventually gets to the non existing song and then totem shows an error and the music _stops_ until you press OK. For many reasons I feel that the error should be shown directly when the playlist is loaded instead: A) an explicit user action is "temporally connected" to the error, B) once I've started my music playlist / music videos or whatever I know that they will play all evening A few hours ago I had dragged a huge folder from a network share into totem and all the songs in that directory tree was playing. After a while the music stopped and it said "location not found". This prompted me to incorrectly start troubleshooting / debugging the network. I guess what's needed is a small file_exists() check in the play list loading function or so ... ? Steps to reproduce: Actual results: Expected results: Does this happen every time?
