Google Music service crashes when using radio (*** NSPlugin Viewer *** ERROR: rpc_end_sync called when not in sync!)

[Jason Baldachino]

I use the player exclusively with the Google Music service. I was previously experiencing occasional crashes, but lately any attempt to use the "radio" feature on Google Music seems to crash the player.

Steps to replicate:

    1. Click on a card belonging to a "radio" playlist (in any fashion --> click to play, click to load the playlist, click on the album art, click on the artist/radio name).

    2. The "refreshing" overlay opens as expected, will spin for a moment or two

    3. Before anything plays or loads, the application will crash and completely close (no hanging, just closes).

Normal albums/artists will play fine. I definitely have been able to play radios in the past, but the past few days I have not been able to successfully play one.

Environment:

    Nuvola Player 2.4.2
    Linux Mint 17 (based on Ubuntu 14.04)
    Cinnamon 2.2.16

Thanks for taking time to report this issue. Could you post debugging output from terminal? See http://nuvolaplayer.fenryxo.cz/support/bug_reporting.html for help.

[Jason Baldachino (jbaldachino)]

Debug output. Launched application, immedieately replicated the bug as described in the initial issue (no other activity).

It's crash in the nspluginwrapper, this issue will disappear with Nuvola Player 3 that doesn't use nspluginwrapper.

@fenryxo thanks for the clarification.

I have the same problem after upgrading to Ubuntu 14.04. Is there a workaround? Related, what is the ETA for version 3?

Unfortunately, no workaround I'm aware of.

With current funding, usable beta builds should be available during
November, stable version in December.
