Bug#479232: New files open new gxine instance
I can confirm Paul's analysis (great work Paul!). Probably Darren cannot reproduce the bug because he have a .gxine directory in his home. In fact if i create an empty one, and i start gxine, a socket file appear inside it and, more important, now gxine works properly. Let's wait for the patch been applied. :-) Regards.

In my initial post i haven't say that i use gnome from unstable (now not fully 2.22; something 2.20 yet). To set gxine as my default mp3 player i have selected an mp3 file, clicked with the right mouse button, chosen Properties, then Open with. Gxine was a possible choice, and i can't nor modify, neither delete it. So i can't tell you what is the real command line that launch gxine. From the ps output i see a normal gxine file.mp3, with no options. I have also searched in the gxine man page and in the output of gxine --help, but i cannot find the -n option you said. However i've done some more test. I've have created a new user account (to be precise an existing one with the home folder cleared) and made login with a fresh environment: the problem is the same. I have right-clicked on a mp3 file and associated it with gxine, then i've double-clicked on it to play. I have to complete the initial wizard then the music started to play. After a tenth of second, i've double-clicked on another mp3 and another gxine instance has started, with the welcome wizard! So i've tryed to set the default player to another program: Totem: works well. Trying to open other mp3, they replace the current totem instance. VLC: has the same behaviour as gxine, but i remember that for video i have always seen it working in that way. I have no other ideas: i can't understand where the problem is located, but to me seems related to gxine. Have you got any idea how to debug? Is [M-f-t set] ??? Regards.

Bug#479232: New files open new gxine instance
Package: gxine Version: 0.5.902-2 Since more than a month (i don't remember from what gxine version) i have an annoying problem opening multimedia files (mp3, ogg, avi, seems everything). Try this (always reproducible): 1) open an mp3 (or something else) double-clicking on it; 2) open another mp3 double-clicking on it. In the past, this would have caused gxine to stop playing the current mp3 and start playing the new one, in the same window. Now the first mp3 keep playing while a new gxine instance open up and start playing the new mp3, overlapping with the first. Now i have to manually close the old gxine window. Also, sometimes, when i rapidly close a gxine windows and immediately open a new mp3, happen that gxine starts with two windows playing the same file, with a little time shift! I suspect a locking problem: gxine doesn't understand that there are already an open instance. I've tryed to purge gxine and delete ~/.xine and .~/.config/gxine, with no luck. Let me know if you need any particular info to debug the problem. I'm using Debian Sid. Kind regards. Cesare. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

I demand that Cesare Leonardi may or may not have written...

Now the first mp3 keep playing while a new gxine instance open up and start playing the new mp3, overlapping with the first. Now i have to manually close the old gxine window. Works properly here. (Workaround: drag the icon to gxine.) Have you by any chance told your filer to use gxine -n? Also, sometimes, when i rapidly close a gxine windows and immediately open a new mp3, happen that gxine starts with two windows playing the same file, with a little time shift! I suspect a locking problem: gxine doesn't understand that there are already an open instance. If you're too quick about starting a second instance ‒ while the first is still starting up ‒ this will happen. (I think that your filer is starting up two copies; could be down to system load and it thinking that the first attempt failed due to a time-out. Yes, gxine uses startup notification.)
