Posted: Thu Jun 09, 2005 9:36 am Post subject: Rhythmbox started stuttering today... |
|
|
I emerged a couple of updated gst-plugins that were updated today. Everything works fine except for rhythmbox, which has "stuttering" type sound. The other sound apps I've tried (BMP, mplayer, ut2004) seem unaffected. Reemerging rhythmbox did nothing.
Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this, and whether it's related to the gst stuff that was updated..

That's almost certainly a gstreamer issue. The issue you describe and other weird things with rhythmbox have happened to me off and on over the past year or so, always as the gstreamer versions change. I usually end up compiling rhythmbox with the xine backend until things clear up. |

I got the same problem, and an emerge streamer -p says me that there was two version installed. I desinstalled the old one and all is fine in rhythmbox now |

Reviving an aged thread...
gstreamer-plugins-alsa 0.8.10 seems to fix this for me, for what it's worth.

Yeah the problem remains in gst-plugins-alsa-0.8.10. However FLAC files play fine, seems only mp3s are effected.

Downgrading to gstreamer-0.8.8 and plugins solved that problem for me. (rhythmbox stuttering)
Why o' why do we need this woes every gstreamer-update ... sigh |

Confirmed fix for me. Although... this seems to only be an issue on x86, since my AMD64 box doesn't have this problem.
Actually, on further thought, my x86 box with my SB Live! card doesn't have this issue either. Only my laptop with the ESS Maestro3.
Could this be a specific chipset issue? _________________ I was a Gangster for Capitalism, by Major General Smedley Butler.

I've since switched to using the ESounD output sink for gstreamer and things seem to work okay (I was using it for Gnome's sound effects anyway...). For this you'll need to install gst-plugins-esd and enable the sound server startup in your desktop sound preferences (or add the 'esound' script to your default runlevel). _________________ ~~ Peter: Programmer, Mathematician, STEM & Free Software Advocate, Enlightened Agent, Transhumanist, Fedora contributor

Still no other possibility but downgrading? Posted a comment here: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=314689
btw, according to this thread asound.conf is not needed as of alsa-1.09b (just "nice to know"-stuff ) _________________ "Only when the last tree has died, the last river been poisoned,

I don't think that rhythmbox can compete with quod libet. Rhythmbox dissapointed me in so many ways... The only thing i'm missing in quod libet are my internet radio stations _________________

Well rhythmbox has those stations so that's already one for rb . But seriously I've been using the CVS-version of rb for ages, 'cos the releases were lagging behind so much.
QL does seem promising and has a lot of features. There are pros and cons for both. I wouldn't say that rb is a lot worser. _________________ "Only when the last tree has died, the last river been poisoned,

don't know if can work for you, but worked well for me (with terratec EWX 24/96, ICE1712 [Envy] chip)
all gstreamer apps were stuttering
increasing the buffer size and period did the job
i use gnome, in the menu Desktop -> Preferences -> Multimedia System Selector ,
Default Sink
Output : Custom
Pipeline: changed from "alsasink" to "alsasink period-size=1024 buffer-size=4096 mmap=false autorecover=false"
everything runs fine

I have the latest gstreamer and plugins (0.8.11) and mine just started stuttering too. Tried downgrading to 8.10 but that didn't help. Neither did the buffer and period size. Anyone ever figure out what is screwing this up? |

Also, increasing the buffer size to 16384 does help the newer gstreamers alsaink, but doesn't fix it. |

Try as root:
Code: | mv /etc/asound.conf /etc/asound.conf.backup |
and delete the one in your homedir, if you have one. _________________ "Only when the last tree has died, the last river been poisoned,

An old thread but sadly now this happens to me, too. For a long time rhythmbox worked just fine but now it stutters. I have had some gstreamer 0.10.x stuff installed which I removed again in the meanwhile. Now rhythmbox is stuttering. It seems something triggered that old bug. |
