Comment 6 for bug 374690

I have the same issue. I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 Desktop 64bit with Rhythmbox 0.12.5. I think the initial wording is a little confusing. Basically All of my audio files are on a NAS device and I play the files in Rhythmbox via Samba. Ex. smb//192.168.0.200/audio. When I play my play list it intermittently stops in the middle of a song, with a "Playback Error - icon", skips the next song and most times will play the new song and other time pause itself. This is highly annoying of course and is definitely a bug. I'm a network engineer and I exported the play-list and tested it with VLC and this problem did not occur, but VLC isn't close to Rhythmbox as an audio organizer/player. Of course Rhythmbox is the best audio app that I'm aware of and would love for this to work. Also to note it is not artist dependent. It seems to be a bug. I attempted to increase the Network buffer but this has no affect, I even enable cross-fading and still same issue. Another note is that it is intermittent so a song that it failed on will not necessarily happen the next time you play the play-list. So it seems that Rhythmbox has an issue at least in Ubuntu.
Thank you.
