"Repeat" button should be made unsensitive when playing podcasts

[Trouilliez vincent]

When playing a podcast, the "repeat" mode is disabled : once the podcast has finished playing, you have to double click on it if you want to play it again, Repeat mode doesn't work.

However, the Repeat button in the toolbar, is not greyed out. To the user, it looks as if Repeat mode ought to work, but it doesn't as it's a feature, so it's confusing.

So would be great to make the Repeat button unsensitive/greayed out, when playing podcasts, to indicate clearly that it's disabled on purpose.

Also, the "Shuffle" mode (in my use case at least) doesn't make much sense for podcasts either, so maybe it could be made unsensitive as well.

Thanks for your bug. I've forwarded it upstream: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=336479

Do you still get that bug with rhythmbox 0.9.8 on feisty?

[Trouilliez vincent (vincent-trouilliez-modulonet)]

Yep, I just updated Feisty, both the Repeat and Shuffle buttons are still active in Podcast mode.

Thank you for the update, I've changed the version information from the upstream bug to point that
