Rhythmbox plays music fine, and works wonderfully until the end of the first track, when it will choose the next track to play, reset the timer to 0, and then sit there and do nothing. Running an ltrace in this state shows that it still thinks it's playing (see first attachment). At this point it hasn't frozen, but isn't working properly. If I then press any button (for example, "Next"), the interface will freeze during the call to rb_player_open (see second attachment), and nothing can be done to recover it. This is all done with Rhythmbox with the "debug" USE flag, running it from the console with "rhythmbox -d", and the output's attached as the third attachment. I started by playing "Eruption", then "Abduction" was the second song (which didn't play), and it looks like it got as far as selecting "The Tower" as the third song before freezing. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run Rhythmbox 2. Start something playing 3. Wait until the first song ends, and playback stops 4. Press any button in Rhythmbox 5. Freeze!

Can you reproduce this bug with older versions of rhythmbox? current svn trunk? Anyway, thanks for all the very precise info but I think you'll have better luck by filing a bug upstream. Please post the url here. Thanks

Please post the url here. > > Thanks > I've tried with 0.10.0, but no further back, as this problem started when I upgraded to GNOME 2.18, and I was already on Rhythmbox 0.10.0 before that (and it was working fine). The fact that it started after I upgraded makes me think it's some sort of problem with a library such as GTK+ or GStreamer, but I've got no evidence to support that. :-( I haven't been able to get Rhythmbox trunk to compile for me, as it seems to be using SVN GLib for configuration, but then my system-wide GLib for building and linking. SVN has GSequence support, but my system-wide one doesn't, meaning Rhythmbox fails during compilation. Upstream bug filed here: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=446828 Thanks for the quick response. :-)
strange issue, this release is a bug fix only release from 0.10.0. Upstream will probably be interested in this. If you want a quicker resolution you might try to catch devs on #rhythmbox on gnome irc network. They are quite responsive with users able to give such feedback.

Interestingly, today's update of GTK+ from 2.10.12 to 2.10.13 appears to have fixed the issue, and Rhythmbox now works fine. I've got no idea how this could've happened, unless either there was some specific bug in 2.10.12, or there was some problem with the compilation (which magically didn't cause everything else to fail). Anyway, issue resolved.
