Bugzilla Bug 162508

rhythbox-0.9.6 has been in the tree over 30 days and has much rewritten code
and newer features than the previous 0.8.x series. I would like to request that
these archs mark rhythmbox-0.9.6 stable in order for stable users to take
advantage of numerous bug fixes and feature additions that have been well
tested.

just a notice:
most arches will have to stabilize media-plugins/gst-plugins-faad-0.10.1 too
...

sparc stable.

on x86:

media-sound/rhythmbox-0.9.6  USE="aac avahi dbus flac hal ipod libnotify mad
musicbrainz python tagwriting vorbis -daap -debug -howl -lirc"

with

media-plugins/gst-plugins-faad-0.10.1

seems to work for me. however, if i try to modify tag information, i get an
error popup:
"
Error while saving song information:
File corrupted during write
"

luckily files aren't corrupted for real, it is just impossible to alter their
meta-data. after looking at the help i found:
"
At this time Rhythmbox Music Player is not able to modify the tags your music
files ...
"

if this is the case, i'm wondering what the "tagwriting" use flag does:
"
media-sound/rhythmbox:
  support for tag wriring in certian audio files
"

last but not least, i was able to crash the app once after trying to modify
some meta-data, but could not reproduce this so far:

"
(rhythmbox:10155): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: gsignal.c:1617: signal
`entry-deleted' is invalid for instance `0x82d9868'

(rhythmbox:10155): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: gsignal.c:1617: signal

(rhythmdb_property_model_delete_prop): assertion failed: ((ptr =
g_hash_table_lookup (model->priv->reverse_map, propstr)))
aborting...
"

finally i have to say that rhythmbox is an interesting app and that i will keep
using it for testing purposes at least for today.

gstreamer team does not want gst-plugins-faad to go stable yet as it's from
gst-plugins-bad.
Arches, please hold off until Joe can handle this open question.
Removing arch CC's till then

As for tagwriting, a comment after the IUSE for it in the ebuild states it has
problems with certain formats

shouldn't bug #159538 be taken care of first? Because right now if you install
it, it wont be able to demux m4a files.

I didn't see any major bugs about gst-plugins-faad (searched for "faad"). And
the bug in comment 5 has been resolved. So why are we still using a 2 year old
version? 

btw, rhythmbox new stable branch is 0.10.0 and is out since a little less than
a week. It's a bug fix release from 0.9.8 so it would probably be a good
candidate to a quick stabilization.

It works fine on amd64:

rhythmbox 0.10.0 also works well under PPC. I've been using it since it reached
the Portage tree.

media-sound/rhythmbox-0.10.0 stable on amd64, dont forget to add arches to CC

Adding arches.

ia64: feel free to just remove yourself if you don't want a stable version.

sparc stable.

x86 stable

Nope, we don't want to stabilize it :)

Thanks

ppc stable
