Bug 162956 – rhythmbox can browse but can't playe daap share. banshee instead can do it.

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Alexey Fisher 2007-01-20 16:47:20 UTC]

I have in my student_network a lot of shared daap resources. The Rhythmbox can see  shares and get the playlist (if schare is not iTunes), for example from tangerine or mt-daapd. It will get cover from server but will newer get to play any mp3's or ogg's. The same share working with Banshee or iTunes.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.configure mt-daapd share. http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Apple_ITunes_Server
2.start rhythmbox
3.try to play any of shared playlist.

Actual Results:  
Error message: Can not open share to read. (Translation from german)

Expected Results:  
Play music.

rhythmbox --debug

Do somebody know how to temporary change the locale?

LANG="en_US" LC_ALL="en_US" rhythmbox --debug should work.

What version of rhythmbox/gstreamer are you using ?
What version of avahi do you have ?

[Comment 4 Rémi Cardona (RETIRED) 2007-01-20 20:50:21 UTC]

Confirming. Looks like the daap gstreamer pipeline is b0rked. Anything upstream?

[Comment 5 Gilles Dartiguelongue (RETIRED) 2007-01-20 21:18:11 UTC]

I had this working before migrating to gnome 2.17 and now it's broken. Alexey are you using some gnome-experimental ebuild ? could you get a list of ebuilds you merged before rhythmbox stopped working (with something like genlop --list --date 5 days ago, genlop is in app-portage/gentoolkit)

[Comment 6 Alexey Fisher 2007-01-20 21:52:06 UTC]

I use:
media-sound/rhythmbox 0.9.7
media-libs/gstreamer 0.10.11
net-dns/avahi 0.6.16-r1
gnome-base/gnome 2.16.2

package.unmask:
net-im/gaim
x11-plugins/gaim-encryption
x11-plugins/gaim-galago

Gilles, i didn't found any possibility like you said:

equery f gentoolkit
.......
/usr/bin/eclean
/usr/bin/eclean-dist -> eclean
/usr/bin/eclean-pkg -> eclean
/usr/bin/equery
/usr/bin/eread
/usr/bin/euse
/usr/bin/glsa-check
/usr/bin/revdep-rebuild

[Comment 9 Gilles Dartiguelongue (RETIRED) 2007-01-21 00:53:39 UTC]

oops, sorry, the package name for genlop is genlop.

I don't have any shares to test this on at the moment. I know that rhythmbox can't play itunes 7 shares for sure even though they show up(which may account for some of your student_network problems). If it is a share that banshee can play, than it is probably a gst/rhythmbox issue. Maybe gstreamer herd can take a look. 

[Comment 12 Manuel Friedli 2007-01-28 23:46:32 UTC]

This may be related to that bug I found on the debian bug-tracker:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=406688

I'm having the same problem: banshee works fine, rhythmbox can't play. I use:

media-sound/rhythmbox 0.9.7
media-libs/gstreamer 0.10.8
net-dns/avahi 0.6.16-r1
gnome-base/gnome-light 2.16.1
media-sound/mt-daapd 0.2.4

If you need an emerge --info from me, tell me.

[Comment 13 Joe McCann (RETIRED) 2007-02-02 21:50:43 UTC]

Ok I've added a patch and updated the ebuild in cvs. I set up a local mt-daapd server and after applying the patch, the songs play fine without the mentioned error. The daap patch requires the latest libsoup(2.2.99) which I've added as a dep in the ebuild. Please sync and try rhythmbox-0.9.7-r1. Thanks to the debian bug link and a thread on the rb mailing list for helping me patch this for yall. 

[Comment 14 Manuel Friedli 2007-02-03 19:22:10 UTC]

thanks! i installed version 0.9.7-r1 and it works indeed, though i had to restart my machine before it did (i don't know why exactly it didn't work right after i updated, but after the reboot it did anyhow, so i don't really care).
thanks again!

[Comment 15 Alexey Fisher 2007-02-03 20:33:02 UTC]

Thanks a lot!!! ;))
