** Description changed: - I was trying to use tomahawk from - https://launchpad.net/~tomahawk/+archive/ppa using phonon and phonon- - backend-gstreamer. Unfortunately that didn't work with the audio sources - in tomahawk that are streamed over HTTP. According to users in the - tomahawk IRC channel this issue is in phonon-backend-gstreamer, as the - phonon-backend-vlc works fine. + [Impact] + Whenever an application that uses Phonon also uses a webkit that uses gstreamer, webkit will install its own webkit based http source. This source is then expoed to Phonon which tries to set a user-agent on it, which is not supported and the webkit source decides that it does not want to work when someone tries to do that. As a result http streaming is broken in any such setup. + https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=310763 + + [Test Case] + * Install tomahawk and phonon-backend-gstreamer 4.6.2 + * Activate a couple of http resolvers (e.g. soundcloud and youtube) + * Search for random tracks and try to play ones coming from resolvers + * Obesrve that streaming does not work a lot of times (not always). + + [Regression Potential] + The proposed fix disables user-agent setting if the source has no user-agent property, so there is no regression potential as there would not be a phonon user-agent set at any rate. + + -- Original Report ---------------------------------- + I was trying to use tomahawk from https://launchpad.net/~tomahawk/+archive/ppa using phonon and phonon-backend-gstreamer.
