Public bug reported: I loaded rhythmbox by clicking its name in the sound menu, and press my multimedia keyboard play/pause button - this works fine and a song starts playing. Pressing the play/pause button a second time also works as expected, pausing the track.
However, pressing play/pause a third time doesn't start the song again, but either: 1. does nothing, and the whole rhythmbox interface becomes unresponsive, 2. starts the song again, but starts another song as well - two songs playing at the same time (or possibly the same song at different positions in the song) 3. Skips several tracks, before maybe playing one. Possible relevant segment of `rhythmbox -d` output when play/pause not restarting song: (11:23:35) [0x7f5ccc004530] [get_times_and_stream] rb-player-gst-xfade.c:2641: not playing (11:23:35) [0x7f5ccc004530] [rb_statusbar_sync_status] rb-statusbar.c:467: updating status with: '0 songs', '', -1.000000 (11:23:35) [0x7f5ccc004530] [get_times_and_stream] rb-player-gst-xfade.c:2641: not playing (11:23:35) [0x7f5ccc004530] [rb_statusbar_sync_status] rb-statusbar.c:467: updating status with: '0 songs', '', -1.000000 (11:23:35) [0x7f5ccc004530] [get_times_and_stream] rb-player-gst-xfade.c:2641: not playing (11:23:35) [0x7f5ccc004530] [rb_statusbar_sync_status] rb-statusbar.c:467: updating status with: '0 songs', '', -1.000000 (11:23:35) [0x7f5ccc004530] [get_times_and_stream] rb-player-gst-xfade.c:2641: not playing (11:23:36) [0x7f5ccc004530] [media_player_key_pressed] rb-mmkeys-plugin.c:110: got media key 'Play' for application 'Rhythmbox' (11:23:36) [0x7f5ccc004530] [rb_shell_player_playpause] rb-shell-player.c:2367: doing playpause (11:23:36) [0x7f5ccc004530] [rb_player_gst_xfade_play] rb-player-gst-xfade.c:3461: playing stream file:///home/balchd/Music/a/Aphex%20Twin/I%20Care%20Because%20You%20Do/10%20-%20Alberto%20Balsalm.ogg, play type 0, crossfade 0 (11:23:36) [0x7f5ccc004530] [rb_player_gst_xfade_play] rb-player-gst-xfade.c:3499: stream file:///home/balchd/Music/a/Aphex%20Twin/I%20Care%20Because%20You%20Do/10%20-%20Alberto%20Balsalm.ogg is already playing (11:23:36) [0x7f5ccc004530] [rb_shell_player_sync_with_source] rb-shell-player.c:2948: playing source: 0x10a8140, active entry: 0x7f5cb8938c40 (11:23:36) [0x7f5ccc004530] [get_times_and_stream] rb-player-gst-xfade.c:2641: not playing (11:23:36) [0x7f5ccc004530] [rb_shell_player_sync_buttons] rb-shell-player.c:3039: syncing with source 0x10a8140 (11:23:36) [0x7f5ccc004530] [playing_changed_cb] rb-mpris-plugin.c:1190: emitting PlaybackStatus change (11:23:36) [0x7f5ccc004530] [rb_shell_player_sync_with_source] rb-shell-player.c:2948: playing source: 0x10a8140, active entry: 0x7f5cb8938c40 (11:23:36) [0x7f5ccc004530] [get_times_and_stream] rb-player-gst-xfade.c:2641: not playing (11:23:36) [0x7f5ccc004530] [rb_shell_player_sync_buttons] rb-shell-player.c:3039: syncing with source 0x10a8140 (11:23:36) [0x7f5ccc004530] [get_times_and_stream] rb-player-gst-xfade.c:2641: not playing (11:23:36) [0x7f5ccc004530] [rb_statusbar_sync_status] rb-statusbar.c:467: updating status with: '0 songs', '', -1.000000 (11:23:36) [0x7f5ccc004530] [get_times_and_stream] rb-player-gst-xfade.c:2641: not playing (11:23:36) [0x7f5ccc004530] [rb_statusbar_sync_status] rb-statusbar.c:467: updating status with: '0 songs', '', -1.000000 ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 13.04 Package: rhythmbox 2.98-0ubuntu5 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.8.0-19.29-generic 3.8.8 Uname: Linux 3.8.0-19-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.9.2-0ubuntu8 Architecture: amd64 Date: Wed May 1 11:03:56 2013 InstallationDate: Installed on 2012-05-08 (357 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS "Precise Pangolin" - Release amd64 (20120425) MarkForUpload: True SourcePackage: rhythmbox UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to raring on 2013-04-25 (5 days ago) ** Affects: rhythmbox (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug raring ** Attachment added: "Full rhythmbox-d` output" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1175123/+attachment/3661368/+files/rhythmbox.log -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1175123 Title: Media key events duplicated or ignored To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rhythmbox/+bug/1175123/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
