Totem does not resume playback of a stream using media keys

[theUg]

Binary package hint: totem

I was running tests of my laptop as per Laptop Testing project (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/Laptop/Reports/SamsungR780), and for test khk-001 (using media keys on USB keyboard for Totem) I opened random BBC radio playlist that is there by default. Once playback started with double-click on stream name, I was able to pause it using media keys on my Logitech G15 media keyboard. However, as I tried to resume the playback and pressed “Play” button, Totem would not resume playback. Totem GUI reacts to the button presses, but stream itself stops responding to any interaction and has to be restarted to enable playback again.

I was trying to replicate it today, but it was working on one BBC stream. However, as soon as I switched to another stream, whole player stopped responding. GUI was showing it was buffering, but then react to nothing, although the stream continued playing. I had to force-quit it. I tried several more times, and Totem stopped responding on one of the streams when I pressed spacebar on USB keyboard. Then I was able to play a range of streams without a hitch, yet it stopped responding again (on double-click to start the stream).

Without G15 attached I played number of streams and didn’t seem to have any problems.
