Description

.mkv and .webm files played until the end with the FFmpeg plugin make Audacious unable to play anything until restarted. Trying to play the next song makes Audacious say "Buffering ..." in its title bar forever. This doesn't happen with .mp4 or .mp3 files. Tested on Ubuntu 22.10.

History

#1 Updated by N Q about 2 years ago

Furthermore, triggering this state makes the audacious process stay alive even after its window is closed, and sending SIGTERM doesn't kill it. Only kill -9 has worked for me to kill the process.

This sounds like a duplicate of #1156.

#3 Updated by N Q about 2 years ago

It probably is a duplicate (can't test right now). I just wanted to add that this bug happens with Audacious 4.1 on Ubuntu 22.10, but doesn't happen with Audacious 4.1 on Ubuntu 22.04. This is most probably related to the fact that packages libavcodec58, libavformat58 and libavutil56 (FFmpeg libraries) were updated from version 4.4 to 5.0 between Ubuntu 22.04 and 22.10.

#4 Updated by John Lindgren about 2 years ago

Please install and test version 4.2, if you can. Bug #1156 is fixed in that version.

You can use Panda Jim's PPA (I use it personally on Ubuntu systems):
