souphttpsrc: Server does not support seeking ( for slow network connections )

Submitted by gno..@..il.com

Link to original bug (#771751)

Description

This is a fork from the original rhythmbox issue ( https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=771533 )

There are a few bugs similar to this filed in souphttpsrc. But, I think this is a bit different. When Rhythmbox plays a internet radio stream on a slow network connection, after a few minutes the stream closes with "Server does not support seeking". Prior to that there are few instances of the stream moving to PAUSE state, due to buffering.

Accept-Ranges:

  • The radio server supports the range request.
  • souphttpsrc requests a range in this case ( prior to this bug failure )
  • Radio server responds with a HTTP OK.
  • Still 'Server does not support seeking' is given by souphttpsrc.
