GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 623555
"Error while saving song information" (ogg file album name update)
Last modified: 2018-05-24 15:22:21 UTC
When trying to change the album name for a group-selection of ogg tracks in Rhythmbox (PPC Lucid), I get many windows that say "Error while saving song information" and: "Internal GStreamer problem; file a bug" "Internal data stream error." This is after the album name appears to change correctly in Rhythmbox. Then, once these dialogs pop up, some of the tracks' album names (about 2 out of 5 tracks) start to randomly revert in Rhythmbox. Attempting to change the album name again on the tracks that didn't change before changes most of them, again seemingly randomly. Sometimes, all of the track info changes even if a dialog pops up. Also, changing the track info using Exaile reproduces the same errors in Rhythmbox. Dialogs pop up in Rhythmbox and not all tracks are changed. The files I tried it on (about 12-22 minutes/ 6-11 MB ea.) were from this 172 MB zip file: http://dhammatalks.org/Archive/All_09_October_OGG.zip I also tested the following small file but had no issues: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a9/Tromboon-sample.ogg I might file another bug for the following issue, but it might be a hint for the current problem: When playing the longer tracks mentioned above, the track often jumps ahead by a fraction of a second. For instance, this occurs on track number 01 at 0:26, 0:43, and 1:00 minutes, etc. This is not an issue on my RockBox portable music player, suggesting that the files aren't the problem in this way at least.
When changing the tag info on problematic ogg tracks from Rhythmbox or even another program, errors pop up like above. Also, some tracks revert tag info and some change permissions from 644 to 600; some do both. Changing the permissions back to 644 gives more errors, and the track info reverts to the wrong value again on some of those tracks. If I select all of the problematic tracks in Rhythmbox, including those with correct and incorrect tag info, and enter the correct tag info in the music properties dialog, then even some of the tracks with correct track info will change their tags or permissions, but infrequently. I also tried removing the problematic tracks from Rhythmbox's database, changing their tags and then bringing them back into the library. When I did this, I got more errors, but their tags did not revert. This is strange as when these tracks are copied directly from the downloaded archive into the music directory for Rhythmbox, there are no errors. I've tried this using the following smaller (59 MB) archive of ogg tracks and have gotten the same errors: http://dhammatalks.org/Archive/All_09_December_OGG.zip
