Last.fm doesn't work correctly; play list runs through without playing anything.

Binary package hint: rhythmbox

Ubuntu 8.10 (intrepid)
Kernel Linux 2.6.27-11-generic
Gnome 2.24.1
rythmbox vers. 0.11.6svn20081008-0ubuntu4.3

it seems that Rythmbox isn't able to load a new playlist.
When I open an existing Station, Last.fm don't refresh the old Playlist but continue runnning through without playing anything.

i confirm this bug is also on my system. need to get fixed pretty soon in my opinion.

[Stefan Winkel (dr-kloebner)]

I solved this problem by wiping rythmbox from hd and re-install it,
but this cannot be the right way ...
So I´m waiting for a better solution.

[Koen (gorgabal)]

i tried it, it works. thanks.
i agree to your statement that it should get fixed anyway, but the priority is a bit lower now.

Thanks a lot for the report, could you please get a rhyhtmbox log by running rhyhtmbox as: rhyhtmbox --debug &> rhythmbox-debug.txt perform the operation and attach that resulting log file to the report? does the version on jaunty makes any difference? thanks.

[Stefan Winkel (dr-kloebner)]

hi pedro,
if the version on Jaunty makes any different I don't know.
however - In attachment the log-file you asked for. greetz

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

the bug should be sent to bugzilla.gnome.org by somebody having the issue

[Pedro Villavicencio (pedro)]

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Does this still applies to Karmic? Last.fm has closed the public service though. Thanks in advance.

@ Pedro
i don't know. i do not use last.fm anymore, because they arent free anymore in my country. still, banshee does the job better anyway for me. was it default in karmic?

i can make a test run for it, but that would be next week. but i don't know how to catch the debug-data on it.

[Stefan Winkel (dr-kloebner)]

@ Pedro:
yes, it's a while ago but it is still an issue.
Some weeks ago I set up a complete new system on a new computer (same architecture)
but it failed allso
Now I use last.fm directly from their website, but that's not a really solution.
It seems that there's no one really interested to fix this bug?

[Pedro Villavicencio (pedro)]

Well as Sebastien said that's something to send upstream to bugzilla.gnome.org by someone who can reproduce the issue, i'm not facing that here. If you want the bug to be fixed the best for now is to send it upstream, the Ubuntu team doesn't have the resources to work on that.

[Stefan Winkel (dr-kloebner)]

after upgrade to 9.04 this bug seems to be no longer to exist...
thx for your help
