When listening music, disable mouse-over preview.  
Written by vojvodic the 27 Aug 08 at 19:33. New
When music player is working, preview on mouse-over of mp3 files should be disabled. Lets say, you open folder with mp3 files. Clicking on some of the files will open song and play it in Totem (or some player), but when you move your cursor over some other mp3 file is starts playing that song along with the first one. Then you get one annoying sound.

Solution #2: Informative notification
Written by andruk the 10 Mar 09 at 02:48.
The first time the user tries to preview an audio file while music is playing, an informational notification should popup explaining what is happening.

Something like:
"You have tried to preview an audio file by hovering the cursor over it. Because there was music playing, the audio preview was not activated. To change this setting, click here."

There should be a link to change the setting in Nautilus, and the notification should expire after a bit.

Solution #3: Make preview require a little more confirmation
Written by Endolith the 8 Apr 09 at 16:48.
When you hover over an icon for a second or two, commonly-used actions could appear surrounding it, like a "play" button for audio files, or a "preview" button for image files.

Kind of like a pie menu, but with each action represented as an icon hovering near the file icon, without the gray borders.



Hovering or clicking those will trigger the action. Then you won't preview audio files accidentally, but it won't require jumping through a bunch of hoops, either.

Written by pepperpupper the 20 Oct 08 at 19:39. New
Create a lyric-plugin for Totem, that would connect to http://lyricwiki.org when playing a song, look it up and display its lyrics!

Solution #1: Change seeking time
Written by giner the 7 Jan 10 at 19:18.
Two ways to solve.
- first one: make seeking time to seek the same amount of time in either direction
- second: make seeking time configurable

Option to silence/pause other audio channels in Rhythmbox, Totem  
Written by deadowl the 8 Nov 08 at 03:11. New
Okay, so the behavior of this just to be clear:
---The last application to check the option takes complete control.
---A signal should be sent to pause streaming multimedia that will accept the signal. Otherwise just mute is audio channel from Pulse if possible.
---Just mute everything without a pause (ex. someone on Pidgin comes online) until the movie or the playlist is over.

The reason I suggest this, is because I want to listen to Dark Side of the Moon without having to worry about muting Pidgin, or watch _any_ movie without having to worry about muting/pausing anything else.

All I want is a simple streamlining of processes that don't call for active attention by allowing you to not have to be nearly as active in beginning the passive activity.

The totem title bar when playing a video DVD shows "cdrom0". This doesn't really make sense.

Delete files on HD from Totem  
Written by lalejand the 25 Mar 09 at 23:19. New
Sometimes I have to listen to a lot of audio files and delete some of them. It is quite annoying when I want to delete one because I have to look for the file in nautilus in order to delete it. And Totem does not display the filename.
-------
Parfois je dois écouter un tas de fichiers audio et en effacer certains. C'est assez ennuyeux quand je veux en effacer un car je dois débusquer le fichier en question dans nautilus pour pouvoir l'effacer. De plus Totem, à la lecture, n'affiche pas le nom du fichier.

Solution #1: Add an option "delete from HD" on right click menu
Written by lalejand the 25 Mar 09 at 23:19.
In the playlist, we could do right click on a file and choose an option "delete from HD". Same thing in the "edition" menu (and with a keyboard shortcut)
------
Dans la liste de lecture, on pourrait faire clic droit sur un fichier et choisir une option "effacer du DD". Même chose dans le menu "édition" (et avec un raccourci clavier)

Totem sidebar  
Written by WolfiE the 22 Aug 08 at 18:14. New
In totem, the sidebar button which collapses the side menu has a > to indicate the hiding motion, however when it is "hidden", the > should become a < to represent the opposite motion, but it doesn't. Only a tiny thing for a programmer to change, but it would make the player a tiny bit better, so why not ?

Update: This has been submitted via Launchpad, someone has sent it upstream and triaged it. Thanks to the users who sent me to Launchpad.

Update: This has gone to the Gnome community, but they don't like the idea, if you do like this idea, please tell them at:

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=549075

Update: It currently looks like the arrow is going to be removed altogether, which although not perfect is better than the current arrangement. The reason given was that the arrow looks like a secondary "play" button, which may lead to confusion (never thought of this myself). (Thanks to Pedro + Bastion)

Update: Eureka ! This has been released as a patch which removes the arrow. I'm so proud :D
Thanks

Password protected mms streams!!  
Written by dj_ee3 the 30 Oct 08 at 02:41. New
This is a huge one I think. I dual boot windows and ubuntu only because no player can play MMS:// streams which are password protected. I tried with totem and the mms:// streams play but it doesn't show a box in which I can type up a password instead of that it shows me a box which says access denied or something like this. I don't really think that a box in which users like me can enter their accounts for the protected stream is so much of a big deal just someone has to try to do it. I made a little bit of research and I read that mms:// is not a windows extention which means that nothing can stop you from doing this little upgrade. Thank you in advice..
