I’ve just posted a patch over there: http://bugzilla.songbirdnest.com/show_bug.cgi?id=188 that is drastically improving my stability on FC5. It’s a big change to a core piece of our functionality and I’m having some of the rest of the team take a hammer to it for a bit before I land it.
If you are crashing all over the place ( particularly with JS_GC in your stack ) and are inclined to applying a patch, or are just one of those helpful people who like to test patches, throw that patch at your Bird and comment in the bug if you see improvements/regressions etc.
I should be landing it Wed afternoon.

SubscribeI don’t think I was really having stability problems in SUSE 10.1, but I do remember the flac files wouldn’t play, as well as having weird lengths according to Songbird. I don’t really remember Beast and the Harlot by Avenged Sevenfold being 1:34:26. And I’m also pretty sure that it isn’t supposed to keep skipping to the next song in succession without playing any of them until it gets to the bottom of the playlist and just sits there. Although maybe it did crash when I tried maximizing the window. But I can’t quite remember if that was in Windows or Linux. I’ll probably try out the patch tomorrow, uh, today, uh, 6-28-2006.
patch doesn’t seem to apply cleanly (or i stuffed up).
so i saved your patch to ./sbird/trunk/redfive.diff
then in ./sbird/trunk/ i typed “patch -p0 -i redfive.diff
it outputs stuff about failed hunks… this is svn 1072 i’m patching against.
Heheh, hmmm…. I think I’m sending FLAC files to the id3lib code for calculating metadata. I assumed it wouldn’t try to calculate the length but I might be wrong.
For now, playback on Linux is provided by Flash, so I think the only things that will play are mp3 files.
i am using suse 10.1 and i had installes songbitd
downloaded from http://publicsvn.songbirdnest.com/trac/wiki/Nightly_Builds
unser linux section the file name is (Songbird_0_2_RC2_linux-i686)
