[ubuntu-mono] [Bug 674116] Re: Internet Radio doesn't function when banshee launched by music applet

[Fritz Heinrichmeyer]

Same here:

I use banshee 1.8 (maverick proposed) and there are definitely problems
when switching radio channels, radio gets unuseable after some zapping
of radio streams whereas mp3 playing stays functional.

Also after some zapping the audio menu integration stops working,
banshee works again when loading from the gnome menu.

I tried banshee after i have read that banshee becomes the default
ubuntu audio player and really very fast stumbled over this bug.

Clementine works nice and is also available with windows,  btw., but it
is qt-based.

Title:
  Internet Radio doesn't function when banshee launched by music applet

Status in Banshee Music Player:
  Confirmed
Status in “banshee” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: banshee

  I added this stream: http://ktru.org/audiometa/listen3.m3u to banshee.
  At first I thought that banshee internet radio wasn't working.  I
  tried all the other streaming urls at http://ktru.org/ (they have 3
  mp3 streams, 2 AAC, 1 real audio, 1 wma), and none of them worked.
  They had, however, been working when I'd previously been using
  rhythmbox.  I verified they were still working in rhythmbox.  I didn't
  see anything relevant in the banshee log...so I tried running banshee
  from the command line.  lo-and-behold, the radio worked.  I changed
  the music-applet to use the banshee-1 command instead of DBus...still
  didn't work.  I also tried banshee command, still no love.  So, it
  works from the command line, works from the Applications menu.  I then
  went to the music-applet page, saw that it's being replaced with
  panflute.  I installed panflute...still had the same issue.  I suspect
  there's something about how Banshee reports to the applets when it
  starts a stream which causes Banshee to end up failing to play the
  stream.  All the Banshee tells me is "unspecified error".  The work
  around, of course, is to not use the music applet or panflute to run
  banshee.  However, the player should probably be able to play the
  streams regardless of how it was invoked.  Hence the bug-report.
