Description Thomas Schweikle 2007-08-21 06:52:40 UTC
Description of problem:
xmms randomly stops playing.


Version-Release number of selected component 
(if applicable):
xmms-libs-1.2.10-36.fc7
xmms-1.2.10-36.fc7


How reproducible:
Start xmms, then play some ogg or mp3 files. 
After a random time waiting xmms will just 
stop playback. Clicking "pause" two times 
makes xmms start playback again exactly at the 
point it stopped.
It looks a lot like xmms internaly pauses 
playback.
Other playsers do have the same problem. Thus 
I think it is not the players, it must be some 
bug within a library all of them are using.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. install xmms and all dependancies
2. start playback with a huge set of mp3- or 
ogg-files
3.
  
Actual results:
xmms will randomly stop playback. sometimes 
within minutes, sometimes it takes hours.


Expected results:
xmms playing until the playlist is exausted, 
without randomly stopping playback.

Additional info:
you can click two times on "pause": with the 
first click xmms will go to pause mode, with 
the second click it will start playing again 
exactly where it stopped.

Comment 1 Thomas Schweikle 2007-08-21 07:01:11 UTC
xmms stopping playback is only noticable because
a. no audio output anymore
b. timecounter does not increment/decrement any more
c. no "pause" sign
d. the title played has playing time left

I have tried other players too:
- kboodle
- gstreamer
- mplayer

all have the same problem.

I do not notice this error anymore with Fedora 8. I assume it fixed!
