[Sam Liddicott]

Binary package hint: rhythmbox

On karmic with rhythmbox 0.12.4-1ubuntu1, rhythmbox gui hangs (won't even redraw) when starting next song.

trailing output of --debug is here:

The problem seems to be related to particular tracks. I these tests it will always hang at "American Pie" but transitions fine through to other tracks.

Totem can play this track (or transition to it) without any problem.

Thank you for your bug report. The issue is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug the to the people writting the software (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME)

[Sam Liddicott (sam-liddicott)]

Fair enough; but I thought launchpad was supposed to do that...

aghagahgh I'd almost rather use banshee (actually, I am) rather than navigate gnomes bugzilla to fix rythmbox - however as Sebastian was good enough to tell me what to do, I'd be slack not to do it....

* idea * use "report problem" from rhythmbox itself! [hmm it uses ubuntu launchpad]

Filed upstream as: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=594728

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

> but I thought launchpad was supposed to do that...

the ubuntu bug triagers try to send upstream issues to the upstream bug tracker for user, there is a lot of bugs though and not so many bug triagers, to send issues upstream it's also better to get those to reply to questions, you seem the only one to get that bug so far so it's better if you send it yourself there

thanks for sending the bug to the upstream bug tracker

[Sam Liddicott (sam-liddicott)]

fixed up-stream. The work-around is to disable replaygain in the meantime.

[Sam Liddicott (sam-liddicott)]

Or it seems, to enable cross-fading

I have 0.12.5 installed on Jaunty, but the problem persists.

[Jamal Fanaian (jamalta)]

I am running Rhythmbox 0.12.6-1ubuntu8 on Lucid and the issue still exists. It also happened before I upgraded to Lucid, with whatever version is in Karmic.
