Description of problem: Moving playhead in any Gstreamer application results in audio randomly not playing or stuttering. Non Gstreamer multimedia applications are not affected. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Almost always. Sometimes, randomly it works ok. Sometimes it seems to work ok all the time, but then starts behaving erratically after a reboot. Reproduced on two different machines. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Play audio or video file in some gstreamer application (totem, rhythmbox) 2. Skip using either mouse or keyboard to different places in timeline 3. Actual results: Audio not playing or stuttering while playhead moves forward. In case of video player - video also continues playing. Expected results: Audio skipping to the point in time and playing from that position. Additional info:
This feels like it should be a regression, but it happens in 1.19.2-1.fc35 and 1.19.3-1.fc35. Surprised I didn't notice it before. Doesn't seem to be specific to any codec. Also tried downgrading pipewire 0.3.40 -> 0.3.38 to see if that was the problem.
Found the upstream issue: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer/-/issues/909 Fingers pipewire -- see https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pipewire/pipewire/-/issues/1857 and https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pipewire/pipewire/-/issues/1947 . I've tried pipewire 0.3.42 from Koji but the issue remains.
It seems like recent update to pipewire 0.3.43 largely fixed the problem.
Same here. Not noticing the problem anymore with pipewire 0.3.43.
For me it still has some tolerable glitches.
I think this can be closed at this point.
