Description Tom Dickson 2004-02-21 20:54:49 UTC

I'm running xmms-shell 0.99.3-r2, and xmms 1.2.8, and most everything seems to work fine. However, when I type the "clear" command in xmms-shell, xmms clears its playlist, and then xmms-shell aborts. Any attempt to start xmms-shell while xmms has an empty playlist results in "Aborted".


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.load xmms with a playlist.
2.run xmms-shell
3.type "clear"

Actual Results:  
bombcar@bombcar MP3s $ xmms-shell
[1510/1563] Vivaldi - Violin Concerto In A Major, RV (playing)> clear
Aborted


Expected Results:  
emptied the playlist and awaited my "load" command.

I have submitted xmms-shell-0.99.3-r3.ebuild to the tree with a patch to fix this
issue. I yanked an uncaught exception and made the calling routines a little more robust.

It's too bad the original developer has dissapeared off the face of the earth a couple of years ago. Oh well.

Re-open this if you continue to have similar problems.
