Public bug reported:
Expected behaviour:
If a VPN was on since before Pithos was started, and the VPN stays on, Pithos
should work as if there was no VPN in use.
Observed behaviour:
When I start up Pithos with the VPN on, it doesn't work. Specifically,
* Pithos loads the song info and album art for each song. (So there is some
communication with the Pandora server)
* Pithos makes no sound.
* Pithos tries to play a song. (Appears as if it is loading the first track.)
After a few seconds, without outputting any audio, it moves to the next track
and displays a text error under the artist name for the first track. The error
message is not always the same. For some tracks it says "could not determine
type of stream". For others it says "could not open source for reading"
* Pithos tries each song for a few seconds, then gives up. After about 6 songs,
it stops moving on to the next track, and creates a pop up with one of the 2
above error messages.
I can use the Pandora web interface successfully when I'm using a VPN. I
can even disable and re-enable the VPN while the web client is playing
without any troubles.
VPN type: Open-vpn, using a VPN server located in my city
