Description Kevin Krumwiede 2006-07-18 21:57:18 UTC 
At random intervals, Rhythmbox begins rapidly skipping through the library, playing only the first few seconds of each file.  I assume a corrupted media file is putting the app into this state, but I don't know which one it is because no error message is printed to the console.  The only way to stop the skipping is to exit and restart Rhythmbox.

I'm using the 0.9.3.1 package distributed with Ubuntu Dapper.  I was going to report it downstream, but Ubuntu's bugzilla says to use this one.

This is the remaining issue on bug 329329, so I'm marking as a duplicate of that.

I see only a superficial similarity to bug 329329.  Perhaps you know of some common thread that I don't.

The issue I described is not triggered by, and does not result in, tracks being marked unplayable.  The tracks are being played.  RB just acts as though you're constantly mashing the "next" button.

Perhaps the MP3 playback module is getting into some broken state and not resetting itself between tracks...

Ah sorry, I misunderstood.
Comment 4 Kevin Krumwiede 2006-07-30 17:31:20 UTC 
I identified a file that reliably triggers this bug on my machine.  When this 
track *finishes* playing, RB starts spinning through its playlist, playing about one second of each track before skipping to the next.

Clarification: RB *does* mark the tracks it skips unplayable.  However, all the "unplayable" tracks are back in the playlist after exiting and restarting.  None of them are actually unplayable.  The track that triggered this condition is not marked unplayable.

What version of gst-plugins-base do you have?  If it's earlier than 0.10.9, this is most likely a duplicate of bug 342789.  This file produces 48kHz output, which will probably require resampling before it gets to your output sink, and there was a bug in earlier versions of gst-plugins-base when an active resampling element was reused.
Comment 6 Kevin Krumwiede 2006-07-31 02:07:10 UTC 
Jonathan, that's probably it.  Ubuntu Dapper still uses 0.10.7.  Thanks.
Comment 7 Jonathan Matthew 2006-07-31 09:00:46 UTC 
OK, marking as duplicate.
