'Generic error' when destination is a remote system

[Mary Gardiner]

Under Edit -> Preferences -> Music Folder if I select 'Other' from the drop down box I am able to view remote folders accessed via gnome-vfs, eg sftp folders. But if I select one of these folders and press "Extract" (with a known good CD inserted for extraction), I get this error:

Sound Juicer could not extract this CD.
Reason: Generic error

Thanks for your bug. I've forwarded it upstream: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=337596

Can you run a test in a terminal:

gst-launch-0.10 audiotestsrc num-buffers=10 ! gnomevfssink location=[some url]

Use the same url you used in SJ but add a filename, i.e. location=sftp://remote.server/home/foo/test

[Ross Burton (ross)]

Forgot to say, paste the output of that command here. Hopefully it will reveal what the problem is.

ERROR: from element /pipeline0/gnomevfssink0: Could not open vfs file "sftp..." for writing: Generic error

Well in that case this bug should be re-assigned to gstreamer, as SJ is reporting exactly what it is told.

It isn't totally broken as that pipeline happily works for me. I'm betting that it wanted you to enter a ssh passphrase.

gnomevfs-copy works fine with the same URI and there is no ssh key used to connect that box I use a password

[Mary Gardiner (puzzlement)]

In my case I have used ssh-add in gnome-terminal to set up the agent. gnome-vfs has never before wanted me to enter a passphrase after I've done that and I can access the same URI with Nautilus with no difficulties.

marking as fixed upstream, doing the same. Feel free to reopen if you still get the issue
