Bug#690291:

2012-10-26 Thread David Smith
Can you try removing the pulseaudio package, rebooting, and then try
your testing again?

Bug#690291: Amarok randomly stops playing sound when song automatically changes using phonon-backend-gstreamer

2012-10-21 Thread Raphaël HALIMI
I just tried to remove gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly (and had to install 
gstreamer0.10-fluendo-mp3 to make phonon able to play mp3 files again) : 
no change, Amarok just stops on the same songs (the bug is not so random 
as I first thought, see below).


I'll send you a full report of Amarok's debug output but for now, I 
noticed that it stops everytime it tried to play an ogg file after one 
or several mp3 files. It didn't stop between several ogg files, or 
several mp3 files, or if it played an mp3 file after an ogg file.


After noticing that, I inserted other file types in the same playlist 
(flac and wma - I have no aac). Here are my findings :


- a flac file is played correctly after an mp3 file
- Amarok stopped if it tried to play an ogg file after a flac file, or a 
flac file after an ogg file


(note that at this point, I had to reinstall gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly 
to play wma files)


- a wma file is played correctly after an mp3 file or an ogg file
- Amarok stopped if it tried to play an ogg file after a wma file

So, at least with the dozen files I made my tests with, the problem 
really occurs only if Amarok tries to play an ogg file after any other 
type of file, or some types of file after on ogg file (mp3, flac, but 
not wma).


I briefly tried bangarang, and it had similar problems, but with flac 
files this time. I need to test it further to give you precise results 
like the ones about Amarok.


With these new clues, it's obvious that this bugreport should at least 
be renamed.


Regards,

Bug#690291: Amarok randomly stops playing sound when song automatically changes using phonon-backend-gstreamer

Ok, I'm able to confirm and reproduce this bug here now.  I created my
own debug output and gstreamer is in fact throwing a critical error
silently in the background.

I took an OGG music file. Loaded it into Audacity. Exported it as FLAC
and then put the flac file after the ogg file in the playlist and
Amarok fails to play the flac file.  If you double-click on the flac
file in the playlist then Amarok plays the flac file just fine.

This is really a bizarre bug, but I'm guessing maybe the phonon
gstreamer backend isn't switching gstreamer plugins properly.

Since this bug does not happen with the VLC phonon backend, I've filed
this bug upstream against the gstreamer phonon backend.

You don't need to do any more testing for now, thanks for help.

-David

Bug#690291: Amarok randomly stops playing sound when song automatically changes using phonon-backend-gstreamer

2012-10-12 Thread Raphaël HALIMI
Package: phonon-backend-gstreamer
Version: 4:4.6.0.0-2
Severity: critical

When using phonon-backend-gstreamer, Amarok randomly stops playing sound at
song change. In that case, the time counter goes on for 3 seconds, then stops.

It seems completely random : it can happen at every song, or can play several
songs without stopping. Also, it occured only on automatic song change so far,
not on manual song change.

Note that only the sound output stops, all the rest of Amarok's interface is
still responsive; and sometimes, if you wait a couple of minutes or so, the
beginning of the song briefly plays for a second, and then both the sound and
the time counter abruptly jump quite precisely to where the time counter really
should be. In any case, manually changing song or position in the time counter
makes the music play again instantly.

This makes Amarok really unusable for music listening (let alone be used for a
party) thus breaking it severely as a music player. Using phonon-backend-vlc
gets rid of this problem, but it's not a satisfying workaround either, since it
have other problems : the impossibility of manipulating sound output volume -
completely breaking both replaygain and fade - and some crackling at the
beginning of playback. Both problems affect every software based on VLC (I
intend to submit another bug report about these issues if it hasn't been done
already).

Also please note that it doesn't seem to be a hardware-related problem, since
the two computers I use Amarok on (a manually assembled desktop PC, and a
Lenovo ThinkPad X200s laptop) present the same behavior.

  Did you try with other Phonon-based music players, like juk,
  kmplayer or bangarang?
 
 No, but I will do it and let you know of the results.
 
  Also, please provide all the output you get in console after
  running amarok as
  $ amarok --debug --coloroff
 
 I'll do.

Ok, let us know about them.
(Please remember to always send your messages at least to the bug
