Remember the last post, wherein I said gapless playback wouldn’t work for 4.6.1?

Ford F-1

Ha ha, just kidding, apparently :)

After a lot more debugging and poking around with state machines, we’ve figured out the bug with a proper solution. ’twas a simple two-line fix that everyone overlooked.

Phonon-gstreamer is the GStreamer backend to Phonon, Qt’s easy to use multimedia playback library. Version 4.6.1 is a bugfix release, which includes a handful of important items:

  • Correctly save and resume states when fiddling with the pipeline during playback
  • Fix metadata emission for http urls.
  • Various memory leaks removed
  • A handful of crashes fixed
  • Fixed random freezes related to gapless playback
  • More useful debug output via the PHONON_BACKEND_DEBUG environment variable.

As usual, you may download it from KDE infrastructure:

–With much love, The Phonominals.
