LastFM - only plays the first song

[Jonathan Lumb]

Binary package hint: rhythmbox

If there are currently songs listed in the Rhythmbox now playing playlist, when you play songs from LastFM Rhythmbox will only play the first song in the LastFM list of songs before switching back to playing songs from the main Rhythmbox playlist. Only when you clear the main rhythmbox now playing playlist will rhthmbox play songs from Lastfm continuously. Whilst this is not a 'bug' as such, something needs to be done about it as the behaviour is unexpected - most users would expect for Rhythmbox to play items from LastFM continuously regardless.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Please answer these questions:

 * Is this reproducible?
 * If so, what specific steps should we take to recreate this bug?

 This will help us to find and resolve the problem.

To reproduce the bug you need to do the following:

1.Select a few tracks from your music library and right click on them --> Add to Playlist
2.Click on the LastFM icon in the sidebar and load up a station (for example "Artists similar to commix") by double clicking on it. Rhythmbox will load up a playlist for that station below the list of stations on the top half of the screen but instead of playing these items it will play the items in Rhythmbox's main playlist. Occasionally it will play the first item in the LastFM playlist but after finishing this it then moves onto Rhythmbox's playlist.

Is anybody else able to recreate this?

is that still an issue? could you open the bug on the GNOME bug tracker?

I have a similar issue in that my Rhythmbox won't play LastFM / last.fm. I thought it was rhythmbox, but after trying listen, and last.fm's own player I think it is a problem with last.fm. None of them play last.fm. I am able to login and download songs, but not to play any music. See my other post here:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rhythmbox/+bug/344676

I use Jaunty and Rhythmbox 0.12.0. I receive the error:

plugin not available, and after performing the search for a plugin i receive this error:

text/html decoder plugin required

Please help me figure this out!
