Seeking ends playback of some MP3 files #579

Seeking is broken. Dragging or clicking on time slider causes Audacious to skip to next song. It's been this way for a long time (almost a year or longer). It used to work fine, but broke after an update. Now I use VLC when seeking is needed. I noticed that I can seek slowly by right-clicking on the time slider causing the song to shift backward or forward by a few seconds, but this is tedious and if I do it too quickly then Audacious skips to the next song on the playlist, just as if I dragged the slider. The same behaviour is observed using both the GTK and Winamp skins. I reinstalled Audacious and the problem persists.

Please provide an example file and/or the output of "audacious -V".

It's a good thing you asked me for an example file, coz I just discovered now that the behaviour does not occur with m4a or avi files, but does occur with mp3 files. I'd bet the problem is related to the mp3 codec. If you like I could check a few other formats and list any that exhibit the same problem as mp3 files. As for the output of audacious -V, I ran Audacious in a terminal then copied the contents of the terminal to two txt files, one where I run an mp3 file (and the problem occurs), and one where I run an m4a (AAC) file (and the problem does not occur). I figured this might help you troubleshoot the problem more easily. I used the GTK skin in both instances.

Can you email me one of the MP3 files? I play MP3s all the time, and seeking works fine, so I don't know what is special about these ones.

Mmm, this is interesting. It seems that not all my mp3 files have this problem, but I can't find any connection between ones that don't work. Okay, I'll upload two files, one that has the problem and one that doesn't. Of course, as soon as you download the files, I'll remove them from this page.

Um, how can I go about editing my own post? I messed up with post #5.

You might need additional permissions to do that (I'm not sure). Anyway, I removed the duplicate post. I'll take a look at the files later tonight.

I can seek to any point in all four files here. Can you do for me:

  1. Post the output of mpg123 --version.
  2. Move your Audacious configuration (~/.config/audacious) to a backup location and try running with an empty configuration.
  3. Try changing the output plugin to ALSA, with PCM device "hw:0,0", instead of PulseAudio.

It's tough to figure out what the problem is when it works on one system and not another.

  1. The terminal says mpg123 isn't installed and prompts me to install it. I checked mpg321, and that isn't installed either. So then this must be the problem then, huh?

  2. I did that, but the problem persists. I just renamed the config/audacious folder to config/audacious.bak, but I can confirm that the configuration was empty when I checked, since none of my playlists were loaded.

  3. Where or how to change my audio plugin?

Probably you have only the library component of mpg123 installed (libmpg123) but not the command-line player. Try "dpkg -s libmpg123-0" to get the version number.

The preferences window has an "Audio" page with a dropdown list of installed plugins.

You have an old version of mpg123 that is lacking this bug fix: http://www.mpg123.de/cgi-bin/scm/mpg123?view=revision&revision=3212

You will have to update or patch mpg123.

Awesome stuff. Now I can finally get rid of that problem. Just need to find a way to update mpg123. Thanks.
