gst-launch crash the program

[Ivan]

The new gstreamer player, using gst-launch, chrashes the program when the unlock button is pressed.

This is the output
ivan@bigwave olifant/ $ python olifant.py
gstreamer init alarm.mp3...

Pressed the togglebutton
Start Starting the monitoring process

Pressed the togglebutton
Stop Stopping the monitoring process
gst-launch-0.10: nessun processo trovato
Terminated
ivan@bigwave olifant/ $

Info:
OS: Archlinux

I think the cause of this bug is the way the sound is stopped and played.
Killing the process and using "commands".

A fix will be committed now which __may__ fix the problem.

This fix doesn't work.

The program has the same problem.

ivan@bigwave olifant/ $ python ./olifant.py
gstreamer init alarm.mp3...

Pressed the togglebutton
Start Starting the monitoring process

Pressed the togglebutton
Stop Stopping the monitoring process
gst-launch-0.10: nessun processo trovato
gst-launch-0.10: nessun processo trovato
sh: nessun processo trovato

The previous method (without gst-launch) worked perfectly...

A typo was found in the previous commit. It was fixed in this revision: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~olifanteam/olifant/latest-dev/revision/27

This method still doesn't work.

When I press the unlock button (that should stop *immediately* the sound) doesn't work, and the sound continue playing still the end of the music file.

Even if I close the program the sound continue playing.

ivan@bigwave olifant/ $ python olifant.py
gstreamer init alarm.mp3...

Pressed the togglebutton
Start Starting the monitoring process

Pressed the togglebutton
Stop Stopping the monitoring process
gst-launch-0.10: nessun processo trovato

A new fix has been committed http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~olifanteam/olifant/latest-dev/revision/30 .
This should fix the problem.

[Ivan (inovembri-deactivatedaccount)]

Now when I press the unlock button the sound stops and restart immediatly.

And if I press the unlock button twice there are two alarm sounds toghether.

PS: Il the latest revisions, in my opinion, you've added too much space between the widgets (mainvbox)
None of the GNOME programs have this spacing.

[Ahmed El-Mahdawy (propeng)]

Try this fix: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~olifanteam/olifant/latest-dev/revision/31
It uses an external script instead of running a loop in command.getstatusoutput(), and kills alarmloop instead of sh.

[Ivan (inovembri-deactivatedaccount)]

Now Olifant doesn't play the alarm file.
There are no sound.

[Ahmed El-Mahdawy (propeng)]

Sorry, there was a typo in alarmloop.
