Slider doesn't work using the "ffec_mp3" ffmpeg mp3 decoder

When I try to change the current playing song position, Rhythmbox displays (in console) : (21:55:40) [0x8e43578] [rb_header_sync_time] rb-header.c:602: slider is dragging, not syncing (21:55:40) [0x8e43578] [slider_moved_callback] rb-header.c:674: removing old timer (21:55:40) [0x8e43578] [slider_moved_callback] rb-header.c:674: removing old timer (21:55:40) [0x8e43578] [slider_moved_callback] rb-header.c:674: removing old timer (21:55:40) [0x8e43578] [slider_moved_callback] rb-header.c:674: removing old timer (21:55:40) [0x8e43578] [slider_moved_callback] rb-header.c:674: removing old timer (21:55:40) [0x8e43578] [slider_moved_callback] rb-header.c:674: removing old timer (21:55:40) [0x8e43578] [apply_slider_position] rb-header.c:694: setting time to 320 (21:55:40) [0x8e43578] [rb_shell_player_slider_dragging_cb] rb-shell-player.c:870: slider dragging? 0 This is Ubuntu Karmic Alpha 3, running Rhythmbox 0.12.3-1ubuntu1.
What type of file are you trying to play? Is it a local file, or is it on a network share, or on a DAAP server, or something else?
MP3 local files, located in /media/Donn/Musique/...
This probably means you're using the ffmpeg mp3 decoder, which doesn't work very well. Try installing gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly.
Got the same report here, and installed ugly fixed it: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=514510 Should we blacklist this decoder? It's pretty useless...
Some quick testing with the gstreamer seek program suggests that the actual problem is that if you're using ffdec_mp3, it means you don't have mp3parse. Seeking seems to work fine with filesrc ! mp3parse ! ffdec_mp3 ! alsasink. I'm not sure if this could result in a more useful solution than just blacklisting ffdec_mp3, though. Maybe when importing an mp3 file, we could check if mp3parse was installed, and if not, request it?
Blacklisting ffdec_mp3 means it would go through the usual missing plugins rigamole.
