Bugzilla – Bug 15814
Display can show time and progress-bar advancing when not (yet) playing
Last modified: 2010-04-08 17:26:50 UTC
A common reported symptom of some types of failures, as seen on the forums and in bug reports, is that the display (jive, baby) shows that the track/service/xx is playing but no sound is coming out. This is typically because the service connection has not (yet) started, and may eventually fail or time out. In the meantime, however, the user sees this pretty display with the time counting up and the progress bar moving along. I think that the counter/progress-bar should not actually start until the audio starts playing. Luckily, there will be a playerstatus update for this event (playlist newsong). At present, however, when a playerstatus reports that the player is in 'play' mode, there is no way of differentiating between getting ready to play and actually playing. Server-side, this would be easy to fix - we have the necessary information.
