Created attachment 542326 [details] Screenshot that shows the error message Description of problem: Rhythmbox seems to stop playing any more audio after a few songs. Once it has 'frozen' (the app is still responsive), it won't play anymore audio in the playlist, not even the previous ones that I played before. The position slider stays at the beginning and the song name updates, but it's stuck there. On the song where it has stopped, there is an error icon and message that says 'Failed to link new stream into GStreamer pipeline' Note that other plays (e.g. Banshee) do not have this problem. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rhythmbox-2.90.1-19.git20111104.fc16.x86_64 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start up Rhythmbox 2. Load a playlist 3. Play Actual results: After 3 or 5 songs, Rhythmbox stops playing anymore and becomes stuck (the UI is still responsive) Expected results: It should continue playing without any problems. Additional info: This happens on both mp3s and ogg vorbis files.
Note that although the UI is responsive, I have to force it to quit.
The symptom sounds similar to this gnome.org bug: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=664831 It has a patch that can easily be applied to the current fc16 rhythmbox-2.90: http://git.gnome.org/browse/rhythmbox/patch/?id=a5940fde434f50323009119681a70c9d645fd21f I'm currently running rhythmbox with it. So far no freeze. Bug 755274 may be the same bug.
I tried turning off cross-fading and it still happens.
Did you restart rhythmbox? It seems that the crossfade enable/disable only takes effect after a restart. (But then, I realized that the crossfade is not actually working for me. All I want is gapless playback and that is working.)
This message is a reminder that Fedora 16 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 16. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '16'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 16's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 16 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 16 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-02-12. Fedora 16 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
