2012-11-04 Thread Robert Lange
This bug appears to have been fixed in 12.10. I was able to use MusicBrainz to get album info and cover art for my CDs. The fix appears not to have been the application of my patch, but a general refactoring of the module. Unless someone else can confirm that this bug still exists in 12.10

I did not confirm my own bug report. If you look at the history, Launchpad Janitor confirmed the report (comment 2) because multiple people said that it affected them. Then, in comment 3, qwazi referenced another bug, and in comment 4, Bilal Shahid responded with a workaround for the unrelated

Public bug reported: Prior to upgrading to quantal, Empathy had a compact mode for the contacts list. This would show each contact on a single line that was just tall enough to display the contact's username. This way, I would be able to use my high resolution monitor to view all of my online

This bug still exists in 12.10 (Quetzalcoatl, or whatever the crazy code name is this time) and I presume 12.04 as well. Now it says authentication failure after logging in and out too many times. Still no indication to the user that they should wait a while before trying to log in. -- You

The bug did occur on 10.04 with the desktop visual effects turned on. However, unless Ubuntu devs plan to go back and fix an obscure bug on a non-default desktop widget that is no longer even available the current UI environment, I would ask that they mark this as Won't fix so that I (and others)

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 869301] Re: Banshee track slider shows total play time instead of position in current track

2011-11-20 Thread Robert Lange
I have looked into it more and the problem does not appear when playing OGG Vorbis files, but does when playing FLAC files. GStreamer appears to have plugins to parse files to get things like padding. It has such a plugin for Vorbis, which I think, is why Banshee shows the correct track position

I have confirmed that gapless playback is responsible for this bug. Disabling gapless playback in the preferences will make the slider work correctly again. This will cause a brief (1 sec) pause between tracks, so depending on your albums, this may be no big deal (modern music) or it may be very
