musictracker with rhythmbox doesn't show current song

[dajimer]

Binary package hint: pidgin-musictracker

1) Ubuntu 8.04 - Hardy Heron (2.6.24-23), GNOME 2.22.3
2) Pidgin 2.4.1 musictracker 0.4.1
3) if any song is played on the player (Rhythmbox in my case), the pidgin status message should be the name of the song being played
4) nothing happens, not any song appears as status message. but the pidgin's behaviour has changed

Thanks for your report. Musictracker 0.4.1 in Hardy and Intrepid are quite old. I expect the problem won't occur with pidgin-musictracker in Jaunty or Karmic. Are you able to test with one of these releases?

Please note that a backport has been requested at bug 316632.

The reporter sent me this email:

"this is right, I upgrade my system to Intrepid and the problem disappeared
Furthermore, recently my friends tell me never have seen my profile picture. though the latter should be announced in another report if I am not mistaken."

Thanks for your response. Closing as the problem does not occur with recent Ubuntu releases.

As for your display picture problem, please first try a newer version of Pidgin such as the one in Jaunty, or in Hardy Backports. If you still have problems, you may wish to ask a question at https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pidgin , or file a bug report on the issue.

For future reference, you should reply to bugs either using the Launchpad page, or via email to the launchpad.net address.
