Rhythmbox unstable connection with radiostations

[Peter Appel]

Binary package hint: rhythmbox

I use Ubuntu - the Karmic Koala - released in October 2009 and Rhythmbox 0.12.5.

Rhythmbox looses contact with Internet radio-stations - independent of signal strength, then stops making new attempts at connecting to station - I expect stable contact with a radio-station. I listen to the same stations in other computers and usually the contact is stable (using Phonostar in Win). Would be nice to sort this out. Peter

with which radio station? I've tested a few here and they work fine for me, could you provide an example url? thanks.

[Peter Appel (peter-appel-telia)]

Hi,
thanks for your involvement. The stations in question are:

1) http://www.dradio.de/streaming/dlf.m3u
2) http://www.dradio.de/streaming/dkultur.m3u
3) http://www.radioswissjazz.ch/live/mp3.m3u
4) http://avw.mdr.de/livestreams/mdr_figaro_live_128.pls
5) http://avw.mdr.de/livestreams/mdr_figaro_live_128.m3u

When listening via Win (Phonostar) I don't have those problems.

Peter

@Peter, I tried to reproduce 1) y 2) radio stations with same version of rhythmbox and I am unable to confirm any issue, all works fine here too. By the way, is this issue still affecting you? Thanks in advance

[Peter Appel (peter-appel-telia)]

Hi,

thanks for letting me know. The problem persists. It does not happen
often, but more often then with Phonostar (Windows) or in any of my
three internetradios. It's prpbably not a big deal, but I notice a clear
difference. Should I find any plausible reason from my and I will gladly
let you know (I am using RB on to laptops using Ubuntu 9.10 and the
problem appears on both).

Best regards,

Peter

Peter, sorry for the delayed answer, but have you checked if this behaviour is still occurring with latest release included in Ubuntu Maverick? Thanks in advance

[Peter Appel (peter-appel-telia)]

Hi,

It seems to work better, but there are still small interruptions, loss
of contact at times without reconnecting, not in par with Phonostar or
my various web-radios. At times a message tells me, that I should get a
plug-in in order to play a station I have played many times, when
following the instructions I get the message that the required plug-in
does not exist.

Happy to cooperate to get rid of this problem,

Peter
