Description
Rhythmbox skips, or sometimes reconnects, whenever stream metadata changes. After a few minutes of this, connection is usually completely lost, and rhythmbox appears to freeze for a short while. The play button stays depressed, and to resume playing the stream (or anything else), playback must be manually stopped and then started again. Other times rhythmbox freezes completely, and has to be killed.
For an example, try this stream, which is actually included in rhythmbox's radio list (it's Norwegian broadcasting's P3 radio station):
http://media.hiof.no/streams/m3u/nrk-petre-172.ogg.m3u
P3 changes the title of the stream once in a while to show the title of the current program, title of the currently playing song, programs coming later, etc. All of the problems described above happens with this stream.
Rhythmbox 0.12.3.
Version: 0.12.x
