What is your network speed ( mbps ) ? When you start your downloads, does other apps ( browser page loading / youtube in browser ) work fine or they are stalled too ?
You can give the following steps to get some insight into the issue: 1. Rhythmbox ( RB ) uses gstreamer backend for playing audio files. This step confirms if the problem is with gstreamer or RB. Run the following commands from the terminal. $ sudo apt-get install gstreamer1.0-tools $ gst-launch-1.0 playbin uri="http://stream-dc1.radioparadise.com/rp_192m.ogg"; This should play the audio stream. You can substitute your audio stream URI in the above command. Now start the downloads. If the playback is stuck / aborted etc, the same way as it happens in Rhythmbox, this is a gstreamer limitation and RB can do very little about it. Try opening a gstreamer bug at https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gst-plugins- base/-/issues/new 2. If audio plays fine in above step, start rhythmbox in terminal as below $ rhythmbox -d &> ~/rhythmbox.log Start audio streams followed by downloads. Wait for the playback issues to show up. Quit Rhythmbox and attach rhythmbox.log in this bug report. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1881458 Title: Playback aborts when a download is started, printing "server does not support seeking" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rhythmbox/+bug/1881458/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
