rate limited after changing songs willy nilly

[anonymous]

if status is set to "Current iTunes Track" Adium rate limits after skipping over a couple of songs

[tick]

Ya, this is a server side thing with AIM, if you change your song it will update on the server. Talk to the server too often, and viola, no more mr nice aim server.

Maybe we could update the server after the user stops selecting?

joscar automanages rate limiting.

In 1.0b15, Oct 29 Build, I'm getting the originally-described behavior when skipping through several songs at a time in iTunes.

The "official" b15 is Nov 11, try downloading from the beta page just to make sure the additional changes don't cause a different result.

confirming the bug for b15. Still occurs after clicking through a few songs in iTunes.

Adium moved back to libgaim for AIM connectivity after b15, so I'm deleting joscar references in this ticket's details as appropriate. I'm experiencing this exact same error with b17, AIM servers complain with rate limiting errors if I skip two or three songs a tad too quickly ( %_iTunes is my status message script... I suppose it also happens with %_music). After that, more errors keep pouring in until I stop, without disconnecting me though.

Bug still exists in b15, too, by the way.

[jmpp]

"Last action you attempted could not be performed because you are over the rate limit. Please wait 10 seconds" is the exact error I'm seeing, and just now I confirmed that if I change the songs one too many times AIM servers do disconnect me ;-)

Just noting, this is still an issue for me and is present in current beta builds.

While this bug still drives me somewhat nuts and I agree with tick's idea of updating the server *after* the user has finished selecting songs, you can work around it by pausing iTunes before skipping through songs.

[pilgrim]

This is happening to me right now with 1.0.

Also, and this might not be a bug, but I can't seem to disable the itunes functionality. So now skipping songs always gives me that annoying window. Should a new ticket be opened for this?

Have you tried clicking the Status menu, then selecting a status other than the iTunes one?

[StoneTable]

Pausing iTunes before skipping songs does not work. I still get the rate limit error, using 1.0.1. The only work-around seems to be to change the status to not iTunes, change songs in iTunes, and then change the status back to iTunes.

From the looks of the error, there needs to be 10 seconds between status message updates.

[evands]

This indicates a bug in the oscar rate limiting code in libgaim... but should also be easy to suppress via throttling within Adium, much as we already do for MSN display names.

[eharris]

This is fixed. I've decided on a time limit of 3 seconds. Once the song has played for three seconds, your status will be updated. Committing once I stop leaking somewhere.
