streamtuner fails to start - segmentation fault

[mikeys]

I have jaunty x64. Streamtuner refuses to start. Reinstalled from synaptic - no change. From command line - if you try to start w/out sudo, it shows "segmentation fault." If you start with "sudo streamtuner" it starts and plays, but if you hit "search" it dies instantly and disappears off the screen every time. Also, when it opens under sudo, the genre column looks weird, not like before - no listing for sub-genres. Why is this killer app still being ignored??

Does anyone care enough to help with this issue?? I changed "audacious %q" to "xmms %q" as it used to be before jaunty and it worked perfect. I also do not have audacious which looks horrible in x64.

You do realize that this is an orphaned application? The version available was last touched by its developer in 2004. Shoutcast no longer works with this among other things that have passed it by. The application exhibits the same crashing under 32bit Jaunty as well when the search button is pressed.
With the recent advances in media players available to the linux community such as songbird, banshee, exhaile, rythmbox and the ever present vlc (which can be set up to search for streams as well), is this really an 'ubuntu bug' or just the case of an old application that isn't being maintained...for the last 5 years.
If the application were being maintained, yes, but as it is, I'd think this bug needs to be closed.
My 2 cents.

This bug needs to stay open until it is fixed. This is the ONLY app that can record shoutcast streams w/out a problem. Why is this functionality still ignored? Not acceptable. The audacious plugin that comes from synaptic does NOT work in jaunty. Now there is segmentation fault when you try to start streamtuner. Is anyone out there willing to look at this?

I think I fixed it. Go to .streamtuner and delete all files in there. Then launch streamtuner, reinstall streamripper and it works! The top stream categories are still messed up, but have to live with that. Keep your fingers crossed.

Terminal

-- /.streamtuner$ gnome-open /home/doux/.streamtuner/config (this opens the config file, I deleted every line that mentioned live365 or shoutcast then saved)

works fine now. May be a blunt instrument fix, but thats all I know how to use.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.
