XMMS won't advance automatically

I have been having this problem for a few months now. I have rebuilt the system. Deleted my .xmms dir, checked all the settings. I do not have the "No Playlist Advance" option checked. Could anyone please help me?

Try pressing CTRL + E when the playlist window (or the main one) is selected. I remember that stopping the playlist from advancing when someone did it on mine.

I'm having the exact same problem. I emerged xmms on my desktop and it doesn't work. Some months ago I emerged it on my laptop and it worked there. My laptop is being serviced so I can't compare notes between the two, unfortunately. I've checked/unchecked the no advance button. I've tried Ctrl-N. I've deleted .xmms. I don't get it. I had xmms (same version) on the same machine with Mandrake just last week and it ran fine. Nothing to do with hardware. I've even run it as root to check for permissions problems. No dice. I'm going to download it and build it myself and see what that does.

Heh, I'm having the same problem on my laptop, but I know it's worked on my desktop before. Although it would occasionally stop for no reason. On the laptop now though it's after every song.

I don't think it is xmms, it think it might be ALSA. When I look in my console that x is running in I can see that xmms tries to play the next song before the current one is finished....

Try emerging a different (older or newer) version of alsa. I just finished doing that yesterday but hadn't tested xmms yet. I'll do that tonight.
