Description Edward d'Auvergne 2013-07-12 16:57:26 CEST

Description of problem:

Due to a bug in phonon-gstreamer 4.6.3, Amarok freezes, as reported at:

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=302652

The bug affects both Amarok 2.7.0 and 2.7.1 (in updates-testing), as it is a phonon bug rather than Amarok bug.  This was mentioned as part of bug #10341 (https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10341), but it is really a different issue.  This is apparently fixed at https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=302652#c35, though no one has confirmed the fix as of this submission.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

phonon-gstreamer 4.6.3


How reproducible:

Highly.  Not sure if it is 100% of the time though.


Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Play a mp3 file and then ogg file in succession in Amarok.
2.  Watch the ogg file stop at about 2 seconds in.


Reproducible: 

Steps to Reproduce:

Comment 2 Shlomi Fish 2013-07-12 20:03:19 CEST

OK, here is what I discovered:

1. The bug is in fact in gstreamer-plugins-base.

2. Amarok on Mageia 3 links to its 0.10.36 version.

3. There is no newer version of gstreamer-plugins-base-0.10.x (including not with the fix).

So what should we do? Should we backport the fix?

Marking as NEEDINFO.

Comment 4 Edward d'Auvergne 2013-08-12 15:56:32 CEST

I hope this NEEDINFO state is not directed at me.  If so, as upgrading might bring in a new set of bugs, I'd say backport ;)

Comment 5 David Walser 2013-08-12 17:26:37 CEST

Info is probably needed from a KDE packager on what to do about this.

Is this the fix ? if yes I can go ahead and backport it.

Well if the bug is in gstreamer-plugins-base we need the ok from the gstreamer-plugins-base maintainer.

Comment 8 Juan Luis Baptiste 2013-08-26 02:16:18 CEST

Which gstreamer is used on this case ? the maintainer of gstreamer1.0-plugins-base is funda but gstreamer0.10-plugins-base has no maintainer.

Reading from the phonon-gstreamer .spec file:

[Q]
Requires: gstreamer0.10-plugins-good
Requires: gstreamer0.10-plugins-base
Requires: gstreamer0.10-cdparanoia
Suggests: gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg
Suggests: gstreamer0.10-soup
Suggests: gstreamer0.10-pulse
Suggests: gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly
[/Q]

So it seems like it's gstreamer0.10.

Comment 10 Edward d'Auvergne 2013-10-15 09:51:00 CEST

Can we get the patch backported?  This bug is rendering Amarok quite unusable.  Cheers!

Comment 11 David Walser 2013-10-15 15:35:25 CEST

Edward, this isn't the only problem in Amarok being caused by phonon-gstreamer in Mageia 3, but phonon-vlc works just fine, so you can switch to that for now.

Comment 12 Edward d'Auvergne 2014-04-01 11:21:56 CEST

This bug is not present in Mageia 4.

I can no longer reproduce it on Mageia 4 x86-64 either. Amarok works fine in this respect with phonon-gstreamer, and naturally phonon-vlc is still preferable. Should we close this bug?

Comment 14 David Walser 2014-04-04 01:55:38 CEST

We can close this when Mageia 3 hits EOL if no fix for Mageia 3 surfaces before then.
