Shuffle & Repeat, don't work in Rhythmbox 0.12.0 Playlist/Queue

[Chief Fox]

Binary package hint: rhythmbox

Rhythmbox 0.12.0

I'm not sure the source package, I'm guessing 'rhythmbox' package

1.Platform:
Linux Mint Gloria, distro based on version Ubuntu 9.04 (the Jaunty Jackalope).

2. apt-cache policy rhythmbox
rhythmbox:
  Installed: 0.12.0-0ubuntu4
  Candidate: 0.12.0-0ubuntu4
  Version table:
 *** 0.12.0-0ubuntu4 0
        500 http://archive.ubuntu.com jaunty/main Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

3. I expect when using Shuffle to randomize playback, and when using repeat button for that to repeat the playlist like it should.

4. Instead, when trying to use Shuffle button, or even Repeat button, these two functions don't seem to be working properly. Not to mention SML can't be used for Radio addresses.

Thanks for the report, in which sense are not working? could you elaborate a bit more? could you also try the same with latest package on karmic? would be good to send us a rhythmbox debug log of the operation. please run rhythmbox as: rhythmbox --debug &> rhythmbox-debug.txt do the operation to reproduce the bug and attach that resulting file to the report, thanks.

I attached the txt file you requested. I am not getting an error message or bug necessarily, so maybe there is nothing to report to you. But I am trying to explain in Rhythmbox, there are GUI buttons to "Shuffle" which should "play songs in a random order", but that does nothing when you click on it, it still plays in the same order it is in the playlist. And also the button to "Repeat" says it should "Play first song again after all songs are played", which it does nothing also. Instead when the end of the playlist is reached, it just stops and doesn't repeat any songs. Matter of fact after a song is played, it automatically removes itself from my playlist, so it couldn't be replayed because it was taken off the list. I checked in preferences and there is no option to keep a track in playlist after being played, it automatically removes it from the list.

I try to reproduce this error in Jaunty (x86) and rhythmbox 0.12 and works fine for me (both functions). I don't have in this moment a AMD64 machine for trying to reproduce this but could be nice if somebody working under this architecture can leave a comment if this did not work.

I have the exact same problem.

[Pedro Villavicencio (pedro)]

This bug is an upstream one and it would be quite helpful if somebody experiencing it could send the bug the to the people writing the software. You can learn more about how to do this for various upstreams at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME . Thanks in advance!

Since this report have a long time without activity, please could you check (if is possible) in latest Ubuntu Lucid if this issue is still happening? Thanks in advance.

@Pedro. First off sorry for the long response time in advance. I am able to implement this bug in Karmic also on Ubuntu. To be more specific, there is no error in the logs, maybe this is just a simple curve ball in the coding and simple fix... The shuffle button only shuffles songs in your Library where I thought it would shuffle my Playlist/Play Queue. So if you have a playlist open and playing from it, or any songs in queue, then the list isn't played shuffled. It will only shuffle songs in the Library which is functioning, but maybe would be better for the user if it was also implemented for the playlist as well. So can we classify this as a Wishlist or something?

[Chief Fox (krgrubbs)]

Just wondering how to find the upstream, would they be gnome or who?

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

do you work on the issue? why did you mark the bug fix commited when there is no fix commited it seems? why did you assign the bug to you?

[Chief Fox (krgrubbs)]

I plan to implement a patch and offer it to the public when it's time. Nobody wants to take action so in my extra time I intend to check in the code.

I guess no one is working on this bug. Is this still an issue?
