Description of problem: When playing various radio stations (including defaults like HBR1) the playback starts ok, but after a few seconds (< 10) the sound stops even though it isn't buffering. Stopping and starting the station again has the same effect - ie the playback starts and then stops. The issue is not just ogg related (assuming HBR1 is ogg) as BBC feeds exhibit the same issue (http://bbcmedia.ic.llnwd.net/stream/bbcmedia_radio2_mf_q) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):3.4.1 How reproducible:Start rhythmbox, select radio, select HBR1.com Steps to Reproduce: 1.Start rhythmbox 2.select radio 3.select HBR1.com Actual results: Playback starts, but then sound stops after a few seconds. Expected results: Continuous playback Additional info: -d option shows (08:32:55) [0x7b78e0] [rb_player_gst_xfade_bus_cb] rb-player-gst-xfade.c:1958: stream buffering, stopping playback (08:32:55) [0x7b78e0] [rb_header_sync] rb-header.c:851: syncing with http://ubuntu.hbr1.com:19800/ambient.ogg (08:32:55) [0x7b78e0] [streaming_title_request_cb] rb-streaming-source.c:262: returning streaming title "Silver Down - Planet City (2008)" to extra metadata request (08:32:55) [0x7b78e0] [rb_player_gst_xfade_bus_cb] rb-player-gst-xfade.c:1928: stream http://ubuntu.hbr1.com:19800/ambient.ogg is buffered, resuming (08:32:55) [0x7b78e0] [link_and_unblock_stream] rb-player-gst-xfade.c:1117: stream http://ubuntu.hbr1.com:19800/ambient.ogg is already linked (08:32:55) [0x7b78e0] [rb_header_sync] rb-header.c:851: syncing with http://ubuntu.hbr1.com:19800/ambient.ogg (08:32:55) [0x7b78e0] [streaming_title_request_cb] rb-streaming-source.c:262: returning streaming title "Silver Down - Planet City (2008)" to extra metadata request (08:32:55) [0x7b78e0] [check-imperfect] rb-player-gst-xfade.c:1989: http://ubuntu.hbr1.com:19800/ambient.ogg: imperfect-timestamp, delta=(gint64)1, prev-timestamp=(guint64)6864280090702, prev-duration=(guint64)2902494, prev-offset=(guint64)18446744073709551615, prev-offset-end=(guint64)18446744073709551615, cur-timestamp=(guint64)6864282993197, cur-duration=(guint64)2902494, cur-offset=(guint64)18446744073709551615, cur-offset-end=(guint64)18446744073709551615; (08:32:55) [0x7b78e0] [check-imperfect] rb-player-gst-xfade.c:1989: http://ubuntu.hbr1.com:19800/ambient.ogg: imperfect-timestamp, delta=(gint64)1, prev-timestamp=(guint64)6864285895691, prev-duration=(guint64)13061224, prev-offset=(guint64)18446744073709551615, prev-offset-end=(guint64)18446744073709551615, cur-timestamp=(guint64)6864298956916, cur-duration=(guint64)23219955, cur-offset=(guint64)18446744073709551615, cur-offset-end=(guint64)18446744073709551615; (08:32:55) [0x7b78e0] [tick_cb] rb-shell-player.c:2580: tick: [http://ubuntu.hbr1.com:19800/ambient.ogg, 8367763567:0(0)] (08:32:55) [0x19dea30] [unlink_blocked_cb] rb-player-gst-xfade.c:1368: stream http://ubuntu.hbr1.com:19800/ambient.ogg is blocked; unlinking (08:32:55) [0x19dea30] [unlink_blocked_cb] rb-player-gst-xfade.c:1390: 0 linked streams left (08:32:55) [0x7b78e0] [check-imperfect] rb-player-gst-xfade.c:1989: http://ubuntu.hbr1.com:19800/ambient.ogg: imperfect-timestamp, delta=(gint64)-1, prev-timestamp=(guint64)6864298956916, prev-duration=(guint64)23219955, prev-offset=(guint64)18446744073709551615, prev-offset-end=(guint64)18446744073709551615, cur-timestamp=(guint64)6864322176870, cur-duration=(guint64)23219955, cur-offset=(guint64)18446744073709551615, cur-offset-end=(guint64)18446744073709551615; (08:32:56) [0x7b78e0] [tick_cb] rb-shell-player.c:2580: tick: [http://ubuntu.hbr1.com:19800/ambient.ogg, 8568283567:0(0)] (08:32:56) [0x7b78e0] [tick_cb] rb-shell-player.c:2580: tick: [http://ubuntu.hbr1.com:19800/ambient.ogg, 8769105567:0(0)] (08:32:56) [0x7b78e0] [tick_cb] rb-shell-player.c:2580: tick: [http://ubuntu.hbr1.com:19800/ambient.ogg, 8970764567:0(0)] (08:32:56) [0x7b78e0] [tick_cb] rb-shell-player.c:2580: tick: [http://ubuntu.hbr1.com:19800/ambient.ogg, 9172126567:0(0)] (08:32:56) [0x7b78e0] [tick_cb] rb-shell-player.c:2580: tick: [http://ubuntu.hbr1.com:19800/ambient.ogg, 9373492567:0(0)] (08:32:57) [0x7b78e0] [tick_cb] rb-shell-player.c:2580: tick: [http://ubuntu.hbr1.com:19800/ambient.ogg, 9575207567:0(0)] (08:32:57) [0x7b78e0] [tick_cb] rb-shell-player.c:2580: tick: [http://ubuntu.hbr1.com:19800/ambient.ogg, 9775911567:0(0)] (08:32 .... the 'tick' line appears to be when the sound stops..
Duplicate of bug 1302007 ?
I don't think so. In this case the time still increases as though the station is playing, but the sound just stops. Used to work perfectly ok...so the issue seems to be a recent 'addition'.
Did you try the steps mentioned in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1302007#c9 and see if the issue goes away ?
You're right - disabling the crossfade between tracks seems to cure the sound dropping out.
If so, you can close this bug as a dup, and update the upstream rhythmbox bug at https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=790497 with any information that might help.
