How does the GIO support work?

Added by Gavin Hamill over 12 years ago

Hullo all,

I've been following Ubuntu and Audacious for years; I'm still very much in favour of a music player that doesn't require the use of a 'Library'.

However, can someone point me to some docs where the GIO support in Audacious is explained?

In Nautilus I can go to Places -> Computer, double click 'mp3 on eddie' and see all my network music (likewise "gvfs-ls smb://eddie/mp3/" shows me the root directory). I have many playlists which contain this smb://eddie/mp3/path/to/song.mp3 format which have worked in Audacious in the past - probably because of native SMB support rather than GIO; the 'eddie' server permits guest access via Samba.

If I drag a file from the Nautilus view to the playlist and double click it, the file does not play because the path is in "smb://" format.

However, if I double-click a file in Nautilus, it immediately starts playing because the path is /home/username/.gvfs/mp3 on eddie/ format.

What gives? :)

"The file does not play" -- what does happen? An error message? Also, what version of Audacious is this?

Hi John,

This occurs with Audacious 3.3.0, installed using Alin Andrei's PPA repository at https://launchpad.net/~nilarimogard/+archive/webupd8

The 'GIO Plugin' is clearly displayed in the 'Transport' tab.

Drag a file from Nautilus view of "smb://10.0.0.1/mp3/gdh/" to the playlist.

"mpg123 probe error for smb://10.0.0.1/mp3/gdh/lindberg.mp3: A generic mpg123 error." appears immediately in the console.

If I double click on the playlist item then the following appears in the console:
"mpg123: Error opening smb://10.0.0.1/mp3/gdh/lindberg.mp3: Error reading the stream. (code 18)."

If I run Audacious with -V and do the same thing.. First drag from Nautilus to playlist:

It looks like a bug in GIO. g_seekable_tell() should be returning 3847629 (the size of the file) but is returning 16525440725988813 instead. 16525440725988813 = 3847629 + 3847629 * 2^32, whatever significance that may carry.
