lxmusic does not work correctly

[baltasarq]

Binary package hint: lxde-common

This is happening in Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic-koala with lxmusic 0.4.0. Apparently, this is the last version for this package, so I didn't tried installing from sources.

$ apt-cache policy lxmusic
lxmusic:
  Installed: 0.4.0-0ubuntu1
  Candidate: 0.4.0-0ubuntu1
  Version table:
 *** 0.4.0-0ubuntu1 0
        500 http://mirror.ousli.org karmic/universe Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

Summary: LXMusic never reproduces *anything*

How to reproduce: click in the "Playlists" menu >> Add to current playlist >> add files or folders
Then you choose your favorite mp3 folder.
lxmusic then walks all over the subfolders of that folder you chose (it updates its main window section for the list of songs while doing this).
After the process ends, the music list is again totally empty, and there is no way to make it play anything. It does not matter whether you create another playlist or use the default one.

[Julien Lavergne (gilir)]

Thanks for your bug report.
I'm adding it to lxmusic package instead of lxde-common.
Could you please launch lxmusic in a terminal and paste the output when you add the files ?

[baltasarq (baltasarq)]

Certainly!
The output is as follows:

[Julien Lavergne (gilir)]

Thanks.

I think the pango warning is not the cause of the bug. I could reproduce it without this warning.
It's stange because when I played a bit with other client of xmms, I was not able to reproduce it for a specific directory. And after I retry with lxmusic in the same directory, and it was working good.

If you want to debug it more, you can open in another terminal "xmms2d --verbose" and see the messages when you do your testing. I'll be interesting also to test other xmms2 client and try to reproduce this behavior.

[baltasarq (baltasarq)]

Of course I can, I'm glad to be helpful.

[baltasarq (baltasarq)]

I've also tried the Esperanza client, and I get *exactly* the same behaviour: you add mp3 files, in the process, they are being showing up in the file list of the client (lxmusic or esperanza), but finally, the list is gone and you can't play anything.

Does this mean it is an error of xmms2d?

[Julien Lavergne (gilir)]

Yes, it seems that it's a problem with xmms2, not only with lxmusic.

[Daniel Svensson (dsvensson)]

If you repport bugs upstream they will be handled faster.

Anyways.. from the looks of it.. you're adding files that are later removed once the media info scanner has determined them to not be playable. I would guess it's a matter of trying to play files you don't have the correct plugin for, or a permissions issue.
