Comment 12 for bug 851691

So the remaining bug for the DX side is that Banshee doesn't switch to the store for results when you are not logged in yet. This does work if I'm already logged in, it just takes some ten seconds (without any throbber or progress bar).

After logging into U1 I get a 404 page (bug 861185).

On my own account previews didn't play, and banshee crashed after doing three or four clicks in the store. This was fixed with "rm -r .config/banshee-1/ .cache/banshee-1/", so something doesn't quite handle old data well here. But that's not a blocker for this bug or is that FFE to blame for this.

In summary, the user experience with this isn't great yet, but I guess saying "no" to this isn't an option. The search itself seems to work well enough, and if it makes the servers break we can turn it off again server-side. So please let's get this in rather sooner than later, so that it gets at least some field testing.

What does the current client code do if the server does not respond?
