From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041228 Firefox/1.0 Fedora/1.0-8 Description of problem: I have set my XMMS to read track info on load in the options, and this stopped working since version xmms-1.2.10-10. when i got that update, i tried to create a new playlist and noticed that the track info didnt get read. i went back to xmms-1.2.10-9.1.1.fc3.fr and it worked fine again. today i got this new verion (.11) and it still didnt work. Just noticed this is only for MP3 files. OGG's and other files load fine. The data does load when a song is played. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xmms-1.2.10-11 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. clear the playlist (not necessary, but makes things more obvious) 2. go to the options and set xmms to read info on load (preferences -> options -> select 'load' -> ok) 3. open the playlist, right click -> add -> directory -> select some folder with mp3's, preferably a lot. Actual Results: there are no track durations and id3 data in the playlist Expected Results: the mp3 data should have been loaded, and the playlist should display the song/artist names from the id3 data and the mp3 durations Additional info:
This bug seems to come from the mp3 placeholder plugin. With that plugin disabled it works fine. I think the plugin should detect wether a real mp3 plugin is present and should deactivate itself or something like that, to prevent confusion.
I think this works ok in FC4+extras, as there's no mp3 placeholder plugin. Please check.
There is a problem with doing that in that a file would need to be stored in ~/.xmms for each user which would need to be checked on each fire up which then permanently (read for the session) kill the mp3 placeholder. I'll certainly look into it. Are you still getting the problem with the current xmms release?
Sorry, can't help you, i no longer use XMMS, i use Audacious these days... Funny that this old bug from 2 years ago got revived again x)
