I just upgraded to Ubuntu 14.04 and tested podcast downloads with Rhythmbox.
The bug does affect me too, though I would make some changes to the steps to reproduce: 1. Subscribe to a podcast 2. Doubleclick on an old episode to download it 3. Start playing it while it is still being downloaded 4. Try seeking a position by clicking on the seek bar. It doesn't work. (The seek bar is disabled.) Even after the download is completed, the seek bar still doesn't work. You have to start another (already downloaded) podcast and then start the one you really want to listen to again to get it to reappear As unlikely as it may seem, the specific podcast seems to matter. The bug happened for the exact same feed as the OP's, but not for two others that I tested. Can you reproduce the bug with this specific podcast? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/978825 Title: Seeking disabled when starting podcast after downloading it To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rhythmbox/+bug/978825/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
