Description

Ubuntu 17.04 x86_64
Unity7, Compiz

Two issues when dealing with the song position marker using the mouse:

1. Start playing a song (wav, mp3) of at least a decent length. Grab the song position marker and drag it beyond the end-position and release the mouse-button. The marker stays at the end, the song display shows the end-time (and continues to play over its actual length-time) but the program plays the sound at the position it was previously playing, plus ~1 second.

- The expected behaviour is that if you're at the end of the song (which the song position marker implies), to start playing the next song in the list (of course this can be debated if that is what should happen, but it seems pretty common behaviour in music players, for example Spotify does this). If not, then at least the song position marker and the song display should feedback where it is actually playing, after doing this manoeuvrer.

2. The other issue is that you are able to get stuck into the grab-state of the song position marker, so that you can not interact with the rest of the music player until you either quit and restart the program, or wait until the song ends. The step to reproduce this is to double-click somewhere in the song position marker-area and that makes the song position marker sticking to the horizontal movement of the mouse.

- This does not seem to be the case in the QT-version so using that might be my own workaround for now. :)

History

#1 Updated by Thomas Lange about 7 years ago

Do you use Audacious from the Ubuntu repositories (version 3.7 for 17.04) or already the latest version?

#2 Updated by Mike Daniels about 7 years ago

Hi Thomas. I am using an additional repository:

$ apt-cache policy audacious
audacious:
  Installed: 3.9-3~webupd8~zesty0
  Candidate: 3.9-3~webupd8~zesty0
  Version table:

#3 Updated by John Lindgren about 7 years ago

I can't reproduce either of these issues in latest Git on Arch Linux.

#4 Updated by Mike Daniels about 7 years ago

I attached a video-recording of demonstrating both issues. First issue at 0:02, second issue at 0:15.

#5 Updated by Mike Daniels about 7 years ago

I tested audacious-3.9a-win32.zip in Windows 7 Pro (x64). I could reproduce the first issue there but not the second one, so the second seems to be more setup-related.

#6 Updated by John Lindgren about 7 years ago

I can't reproduce in the Windows version either. Upload the file you are testing with; maybe it is a problem with a specific (type of) file.

#7 Updated by Mike Daniels about 7 years ago

Aha, that could maybe be it for issue 1. Maybe it's the metadata in the wav-file that causes this (it was created with Renoise from the beginning, which adds metadata where one pattern ends and another pattern begins). I silenced the wav-file I tried with previously (so that it compresses into almost nothing, so it can be attached here). Both issues still happen to me using this wav-file.

#8 Updated by John Lindgren about 7 years ago

  • Category set to plugins/sndfile
  • Status changed from New to Closed
  • Target version set to 3.10
  • % Done changed from 0 to 100

I was able to reproduce the first issue with the file you attached (thanks!) and fix it.

Since the double-click issue appears to be specific to Ubuntu, please report it against the "audacious" package in Ubuntu, and their team can determine the root cause.
