Definitely, this problem was the cause: substituting "lame vbr=4 vbr-max-bitrate=40" in place of "vorbisenc ! oggmux" makes it work, and tolerate song changes, etc.

actually with "export GST_DEBUG=2" and then calling rhythmbox from command line, I get a warning which seems to be related with the plugin stopping when the song changes:

0:07:53.426588852 19787 0xab47a18 WARN vorbisenc vorbisenc.c:1197:gst_vorbis_enc_chain: Buffer is older than previous timestamp + duration (0:01:40.632000000< 0:04:40.272000000), cannot handle. Clipping buffer.

(4:40 was the duration of the first song played, 1:40 is the time the second song has been running since)

I have been toying with the idea of retransmitting the music stream we are using in a small "milonga" (tango dance event) around here. So I had to debug some problems, and found that something like:

LANG=C GST_DEBUG=1 gst-launch-0.10 -mv file:///tmp/insurreccion0.mp3 ! mad half=true ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! lame vbr=4 vbr-max-bitrate=40 ! shout2send sync=true password=mypass mount=live2 2>&1 | less

works, and the GST_DEBUG env var helps finding what goes on. Have you found any further success with the use of gstreamer in rhythmbox?

@Damon I was reading about GstBin and found this:

A GstBin internally intercepts every GstMessage posted by its children and implements the following default behaviour for each of them:

GST_MESSAGE_EOS
This message is only posted by sinks in the PLAYING state. If all sinks posted the EOS message, this bin will post and EOS message upwards.

@Marcelo Unfortunately, no. I have the same problem. I've received a few suggestions/patches from other readers but they did not fix the issue. The lack of documentation is disappointing indeed. I scraped together what I did from other examples, Rhythmbox's wiki, GStreamer docs, and poking at the Python API directly.

I would like to improve this plugin but there is a lack of documentation for the API's you used on it. Now I'm trying to make the streaming continuously play various files from my local music library to a icecast2 server, but every time the track is over all clients stops to receive streaming.

Any tips about this?

Thank you for this!

Use this patch and set your stream receiving player (eg. VLC) to loop the song.

Well, the good news is, I can reproduce the issue. The bad news is, I have no idea what the problem is. If anyone has suggestions, I'm all ears!

damonkohler,

I am unable to switch songs with this plugin. If I let the songs switch by themselves (let the current song finish, auto-play the next song) then it works. But if I wish to begin playing a new song while one is already playing, then all sound output from rhythmbox ceases. Is there any possible way to fix this?
