I'm on 10.4 now. I've just tried Banshee a few times, and out of a dozen or so tries I did see this behaviour one time. Specifically:
* Arrange a playlist with one track that's not playable followed by two that are. * Play the first track. * Up comes a "search for codec" dialog box, and the second track plays * Click "cancel". * The second track is skipped, the third track plays. What should happen is either the dialog box should stop it skipping to the second track, or clicking cancel should do nothing. Take your pick. However, the more common case is: It still fails to find a codec for WMV. Which is bad, I'm a normal user and don't care about codec licensing, I just want it to work. But anyway. If I then try to play another WMV file it comes up with the exact same dialog. It doesn't remember that it tried and failed to find that codec not 10 seconds ago. Surprise surprise, I have an entire album of WMV tracks and it makes me click through all of them one by one. And then it eventually gets to a track it can play, starts playing it, and throws an unhandled exception. But it remains on screen as a blank zombie (still playing) and I have to forcefully kill it. This mostly happens instead of the "misbehaving cancel button" behaviour, and sometimes you get a fun combination of both. Finally, the "search for codec" dialog box still doesn't say which file it's trying to play. No matter what bugs exist in the rest of the program, it definitely should. -- Search for suitable plugin dialog useless https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/508896 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
