rhythmbox stops playing after some time

[bofphile]

Binary package hint: rhythmbox

When I play an album with rhythmbox, it stops playing after 1 or 2 tracks without reason and if I try to select another track after that it doesn't respond anymore. I have to terminate the application and restart it.
For information, all my music is in wavpack and crossfading is enabled.
Also I'm using rhythmbox 0.12.0-0ubuntu4 on Jaunty.

thank you for your bug report, could you run rhythmbox --debug and see if there is any error when getting the issue?

[bofphile (bofphile)]

Also rhythmbox seems to always stop at the end of a track and for the same album it doesn't always stop at the same track.
I've attached the last lines of the output of rhythmbox --debug below.
I think the revelant line is:
"(13:40:14) [0x873d408] [stop_sink] rb-player-gst-xfade.c:2923: stopping sink"

any progress on this bug?

[Pedro Villavicencio (pedro)]

By any progress you mean if there's a fix somewhere? well no, but you can try to ping the upstream maintainers about it.

I've been having this too. The effect seems to be that the music stops playing.

The console says:
(rhythmbox:6315): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_str_has_prefix: assertion `str != NULL' failed

when this happens.

[Dave-B (david-balch)]

I'm experiencing this as well, with "GLib-CRITICAL **: g_str_has_prefix: assertion `str != NULL' failed" on the terminal.

This issue has sat incomplete for more than 60 days now and as per comment #16 the upstream report has seen no activity for some time.

I'm closing this report as "Invalid". Please feel free to re-open if this is still an issue when using a currently supported release of Ubuntu and rhythmbox. Thank you.
