Rhythmbox plays only one song, then produces obscure error message

Bug Description

Binary package hint: rhythmbox

When I use Rythmbox, the first song gets played fine. For every subsequent song, Rhythmbox tries to play the song, encounters an error, shows the error icon in the song list, and tries to play the next song, which also generates an error, and so on until I stop the program. Once I start a new instance of Rhythmbox, I can play another song. This happens with both the esdsink and the alsasink audio sinks.

Rhythmbox output:
(rhythmbox:5815): GdkPixbuf-CRITICAL **: gdk_pixbuf_new_from_file: assertion `filename != NULL' failed

(rhythmbox:5815): Rhythmbox-WARNING **: Unable to load icon media-eject

Thanks for your bug. What version of Ubuntu and rhythmbox do you use? Does it happen with totem-gstreamer too by example? Could you run "rhythmbox -d" and note what it is complaining about?

Log of rhythmbox Edit (265.4 KiB, text/plain)

I don't know if this is the same bug, but it might look so. I'm using 0.11.2-0ubuntu3 on latest gutsy, and when I try to listen to this stream:

http://radio.uni-bielefeld.de/stream/hertz-q5.m3u

rhythmbox stops playing after one song. It plays the first few seconds of the next and then simply stops, albeit the UI thinks it's still playing. When I click on play again, I get an error message:

Couldn't start playback
Internal data flow error.

the output of rhythmbox -d is attached (with playlist related entries removed).

Closing the report, since we don't have enough information to discover what caused the bug you reported and your last comment is a totally different one and also likely a dup. please feel free to re open this report if you can provide us more information (like a rhythmbox log) of your first report. thanks.

Could you point me to the dup then or explain why the problem I'm having is a totally different one or tell me what more information I can give? reopening it for now.

Thanks!

This is also happening in Totem, so I guess it's totally rhythmbox-unrelated and really gstreamer related. It happens regardless what gstreamer output device I select, so it's somehow related to the decoder I think.

Lukas:

Generally, it's a better idea to create a new bug that's specific to your issue than to tag onto an existing one. This helps keep everything distinct, as the symptoms you're reporting (a radio stream not working properly) seems like it might be different from the one reported here (songs on the hard drive).

If this is still an issue for you, please open up a new bug report, and then we can work on it :)
