Description bill p. (aka google01103) 2012-01-26 20:15:18 UTC

Version:           2.5.0
OS:                Linux

Recently added albums widget not displaying with phonon-vlc backend after a song is played. When first started recently added albums widget displays list of new albums as it should but once a track in played the widget is empty with only the heading shown immediately followed with no space by the next widget.

Switching to the Gstreamer backend solves this

Albums widget (showing albums of currently played artist) works fine

This is a recent regression

running:
4.8
Amarok 2.5 from git
phonon-backend-vlc 0.5.0git.1325523840-8.1
libphonon4-4.6.0-79.1.x86_64


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
play a song

Actual Results:  
recent albums is blank

Expected Results:  
recent albums if populated

Harald, any idea?

Comment 2 bill p. (aka google01103) 2012-02-01 20:23:13 UTC

as of today the widget again works correctly, why? I don't know but it is working so I will close this

Comment 3 bill p. (aka google01103) 2012-02-02 18:38:59 UTC

and of course today it disappears again

Comment 4 Patrick Peronny 2012-06-19 09:51:30 UTC

Hello, 
I can confirm this on Debian testing :
Qt: 4.8.1
KDE Development Platform: 4.7.4 (4.7.4)
Amarok: 2.5.0 (from repository)
phonon-vlc backend 0.5.0

Albums widget not displaying anything at the end of a playlist. If I press stop button on a song, the widget shows correctly.
The bug wasn't here with Amarok 2.4.3.
Can't test with gstreamer backend, I have a recent hardware problem and I have sound only with vlc backend.

Sorry for my bad english.

Comment 5 Myriam Schweingruber 2012-06-19 10:02:16 UTC

Bill and Patrick: could you please try with the 2.6 beta1? We all use post Amarok 2.5 here in the team, might simply be already solved, so no use on insisting on a 2.5 bug that is not reproducible in git :)

Comment 6 bill p. (aka google01103) 2012-06-19 10:19:10 UTC

Myriam - I'm running git ("about Amarok" still says 2.5-git) but I clone and compile weekly (give or take).

Comment 7 Harald Sitter 2012-06-19 15:16:24 UTC

Random guess of the day: it is because amarok ties too many unrelated things to the aboutToFinish signal, which then leads to weird issues when that signal is emitted twice.

I am now going to introduce protection against multi-emission.

Comment 8 Harald Sitter 2012-06-20 15:23:59 UTC

Git commit eff46365383a4faa585a0ca525a749bab241367d by Harald Sitter.
Committed on 20/06/2012 at 17:23.
Pushed by sitter into branch 'master'.

Don't reset members all over the place

resetting too early leads to many abouttofinish signals which screws with
Amarok which likes to bind half it's playback bound features to that
particularly signal.

Hence only reset once we got a new call to PlayInternal at which point
we throw away the old media anyway, so we can be sure that this is the
last point anything from the old media might leak through.

unfortunately can not test 'cause it will not comile for me  phonon-vlc/src/mediacontroller.cpp:326:10: error: ‘BluRay’ was not declared in this scope

Comment 10 Harald Sitter 2012-06-20 16:07:23 UTC

Needs phonon from git master too

Comment 11 Edward Hades 2012-08-18 10:28:12 UTC

phonon-vlc-0.6 has been released with the fix included.

Please test against this version.

Comment 12 Patrick Peronny 2012-08-21 16:24:32 UTC

Problem fixed on my side with the upstream release phonon-vlc-0.6.

My system Debian, everything installed from repository :
Qt: 4.8.2
KDE Development Platform: 4.8.4 (4.8.4)
Amarok: 2.5-GIT
phonon-backend-vlc 0.6.0-1


Thanks !
