Description Christopher Beland 2009-07-29 13:42:34 UTC

When I am playing a podcast in rhythmbox, there is a slider immediately below the title which shows how far along I am in the file.  In previous versions, I used to be able to drag and drop this slider, or click on the slider area to move it, having the effect of jumping forward or backwards in the file.  Now when I attempt to do so, the playback simply continues in the same place in the file, as if I had done nothing. The slider jumps back to where it was, and continues to move slowly forward as it does during normal playback.

rhythmbox-0.12.3-1.fc11.i586
pulseaudio-0.9.15-14.fc11.i586

Note that I had to set "load-module module-hal-detect tsched=0" in /etc/pulse/default.pa in order to get sound output working without skipping.

Comment 1 Bastien Nocera 2009-07-29 14:59:29 UTC

Is the podcast in MP3 format?

If so, you're probably using the gst-ffmpeg MP3 decoder which doesn't do seeking. See this upstream bug:

Comment 2 Christopher Beland 2009-07-29 17:24:09 UTC

Yup, it's an MP3 podcast.

I'm not sure how to tell what plugin I'm using, but installing gstreamer-plugins-ugly-0.10.12-1.fc11.i586 from RPM Fusion does work around the problem.

Comment 3 Bastien Nocera 2009-07-29 18:38:18 UTC

Yep, same problem.

Comment 4 Christopher Beland 2009-07-29 19:58:43 UTC

I assume you meant to close this as UPSTREAM, since it is something that the Fedora-native alternative should do?

Comment 5 Bastien Nocera 2009-07-29 20:23:27 UTC

No, I closed it as NOTABUG, because it's a bug in your installation of third-party packages.

Comment 6 Christopher Beland 2009-07-29 20:51:55 UTC

When I was experiencing the problem, I didn't have any third-party packages installed that have "gstreamer" in the name.  Installing the third-party gstreamer-plugins-ugly happens to solve the problem, but I was experiencing the problem without it.  Or is there some other third party RPM which is causing the problem?

Installing gstreamer-plugins-ugly solves the problem. Thanks.
