14 years ago It is possible, and more or less planned. But currently, gusicbrowser uses playbin/playbin2 in gstreamer, that mostly do everything by itself. playbin2 does not currently support cross-fading, so to implement it I would have to re-implement playbin2 and its gapless mode :( So currently, I would rather wait for cross-fading to be implemented in playbin2. (https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=602286)

14 years ago Well playbin2's gapless mode seems buggy as hell unfortunately :/ It makes my gmusicbrowser crash all the time so I just gave up on it.
And considering gstreamer's development rate (and contributer cost - ie. the time/effort it takes for someone to learn/write a patch/get it merged, etc.) I'm betting we won't have crossfading in playbin2 before 2015...

14 years ago About gapless crashes, the problem comes from the perl bindings, see http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=614650 sadly I haven't gotten around to do what the devs suggested yet (help welcome).
Yes it could take a while before gstreamer add this feature, though other players want this too. I might try to implement it myself in gmusicbrowser at some point if it is still not supported in gstreamer's playbin2 by then, but currently I have too many other things to do anyway.

8 years ago Any update on this one? gstreamer gapless playback is still marked as experimental (and isn't truly gapless on my machine), also I can't find anything on crossfade support.
Would it be possible/easy to implement crossfading for the gstreamer backend? I think musikcube does it right - the default timings are very sensible (different ones for prev/next and pause/play and select track) and it's easy to change them + disable/enable crossfading.
