# rhythmbox-0.8.4-1 When playing an internet radio station from my rhythmbox playlist, occasionally the radio station drops off the map. When I click play for that station, rhythmbox GUI does not respond as it is probably stuck on trying to connect to the radio station URL. Expected Result: ================ I would gather the correct solution would be to background the play request somehow so that the GUI is still responsive. That way if 10 seconds go past and I *assume* the radio station is down, I can just click stop...or play on another station/file.
I completely agree, but it is a very difficult problem. Basically GStreamer needs to become asynchronous, and this involves redesigning its architecture. This bug is already filed upstream.
This will be tracked as gnome#128106 (http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=128106)
Thanks for adding the reference, I meant to put it in there.
