From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040518 Firefox/0.8 Description of problem: The same problem existed in Fedora Core 1 too. I have rhythmbox-0.8.3-3 and gstreamer-0.8.1-1, along with gstreamer-plugins-0.8.1-1, gstreamer-plugins-mp3-0.8.1-0.lvn.1.2 (from livna.org) and libmad-0.15.1-0.lvn.1.b.2 (also from livna.org). When listening to a remote stream (like any station from shoutcast.com) in rhythmbox, hitting the stop button hangs rhythmbox. It me be forced to exit (kill -9, hitting the window managers close button a bunch of times, using the system monitor). Switching streams works just fine, it's just hitting stop that hangs it. I realise MP3 is not supported by RedHat, point me to a stream for a supported type and I will try to reproduce it with that. I have an RHEL WS 2.1 box with gstreamer and rhythmbox installed using the original source (via garnome) and I don't think the problem exists there. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rhythmbox-0.8.3-3 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Play a radio station in rhythmbox 2. Hit the stop button Actual Results: rhytmbox hangs and must be forcibly killed Expected Results: the stream should stop playing Additional info:
I'm pretty sure this is because Rhythmbox is trying to shut down the TCP connection when you click stop, but the other side isn't responding. This is thus a symptom of the larger issue of needing to make internet radio asynchronous, already reported upstream: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=128106
