Rhythmbox failed to play Last FM stream when launched from Gnome Panel but succeed when launching from Terminal.
Seems to be a gstreamer library path problem.


Additional info:
* package version(s): 0.11.6-1
* config and/or log files etc.


Steps to reproduce:

launch Rhythmbox from gnome-panel, add a Lastfm artist radio and start playing
launch Rhythmbox from gnome-terminal, add a Lastfm artist radio and start playing
This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Fixed
Additional comments about closing:  Assuming fixed. last.fm plugin uses libsoup-gnome, which retrieves proxy settings from gconf.

Works for me (x86_64).

Is this fixed with the recent Gstreamer and GNOME update from testing?

Is this still a problem?

Yes, The same problem apply to Banshee. I think it's a http proxy problem for both applications. they don't retrieves proxy informations from gconf.

Exporting the proxyserver using 'export http_proxy="your proxy:proxyport"' from a terminal and starting banshee inside that terminal should make that plugin working again.

I checked the banshee code for any proxy settings, it relies on System.Net.WebRequest to make webrequests in the lastfm plugin. I don't know mono's implementation for this, but when no specific proxy is supplied, it uses the "default system proxy" as stated by Microsoft specifications (the one from Internet Explorer settings for win32). For non-windows platforms, the http_proxy variables have been default for ages. There's no such thing as specific GNOME/gconf integration inside mono for this.

Exactly. No need to export proxyserver at all in Gnome -Terminal if proxy settings are defined in Gnome Config Panel.

The question is why it doesn't work when starting both applications from gnome-panel.

Sorry the answer is in your last post :)

It appears that gnome-terminal retrieves the proxy settings from GConf and sets it as environment variables everytime you open a new terminal window/tab. gnome-panel doesn't do this, so there's your answer.
