Pithos gstreamer buffer stops randomly

[Levi Bostian]

I installed Ubuntu Mate 16.04.1 on a Raspberry Pi 2 to run the program Pithos: https://github.com/pithos/pithos it is a Pandora radio client.

All details of my setup:
* Pithos v1.2.1
* Raspberry Pi 2
* Ubuntu Mate 16.04
* Wired ethernet connection and I have tried WiFi connection. Both connections 50+ mbps lines.
* Pandora account not One subscription.
* Running Pithos from terminal and no warnings thrown in standard output.
* Desktop running with no screensaver, no sleep, etc. Always up and running.
* Pithos no plugins installed. No proxy. Explicit music allowed.

I started having an issue with Pithos where it would play music for about 10 minutes and then after it would finish a song, the next song would not play. The music would stop at 0:00 and not play again.

This issue was reported to Pithos here: https://github.com/pithos/pithos/issues/94 but was not specific to Ubuntu Mate (also issue has been resolved and fixed) so I created a new issue for Ubuntu Mate specifically https://github.com/pithos/pithos/issues/342.

I run Pithos in Raspbian Jesse with no issues at all. Issue only comes up with Ubuntu Mate.

One of the Pithos contributors created a simple program to play gstreamer Http streams: https://gist.github.com/JasonLG1979/70c493bfb351a7f98bd188158b87dab2 which he instructs you can use to debug this issue on Ubuntu Mate (Or install Pithos).

Sorry for the lake of other info. I am simply a consumer of Pithos and found this issue.

This issue will give you more details you may need: https://github.com/pithos/pithos/issues/342

Could you run:

apport-collect 1621946

on the affected system?

This will ensure the required information is available to reproduce the problem.

It'd also be great to identify whether this is a bug in GStreamer or Pithos itself. For example, can you reproduce it with the gist you linked?
