Description Andrew Munkres 2010-01-15 14:07:01 UTC
Version:           2.0 (using KDE 4.3.4)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Archlinux Packages

When playing an audio CD with Dragon Player, the menu items "Previous Chapter" and "Next Chapter" do nothing. (I am using the gstreamer Phonon backend.)

While it is possible to skip to the next track by moving the slider all the way to the right (seek to the end of the current track; however, this causes a large amount of reads from the CD and thus may cause the drive to begin spinning at high speed, which makes a loud noise), it seems that there is no way at all to skip to the previous track.

With Dragon Player 2.0 on Debian jessie's KDE 4.14, I am unable to skip to the next track, even with Andrew's hack. This means I am effectively unable to play an audio CD with Dragon Player, except for the first track.
Comment 2 Philippe Cloutier 2014-09-17 23:57:39 UTC
To clarify, when Dragon Player has finished playing the first track, it quietly stops. I am therefore unable to play an entire CDDA even sequentially, unless it has a single track.

More than 3 years later and this bug is still present.
Dragon plays only the first track from audio cds.
Comment 4 Jonathan Wakely 2019-06-26 09:43:30 UTC
"only plays the first track" is a completely different bug from comment 0.

The original bug report says you can't skip tracks. With recent releases, you can (using the Play->Previous and Play->Next menu items, or the , and . keys).

So I think the original bug should be marked as resolved.

I've opened Bug 409201 for the "playback stops" bug.
Comment 5 Philippe Cloutier 2019-12-29 15:10:25 UTC
This issue persists with Debian 9's Dragon Player 16.08.3. I can however play a whole CD sequentially, unlike the situation I described in comment #1.
Comment 6 Philippe Cloutier 2019-12-29 15:29:26 UTC
This issue is apparently solved in Dragon Player 18.12.3, since I can control the track played in Kubuntu 19.04.

Please report if you still experience this issue with version 18.12.3 or ulterior.

Note that Dragon Player remains a poor player for CDDA, as tracks are not listed (one cannot select any track directly).
