Bug Description

Binary package hint: rhythmbox

I told music player to import my ~50 gig music collection.* At about 15 gigs, I got a pop up message that The music player had encountered an error report and that I could submit a bug report if I wanted. I could still see the music player status bar counting up the gigs,so I just left it sit there. after music player was done, I told it to go ahead and submit the crash report, intending to give it this message.

So then the crash reporter asks me if I want to send a full or a mini crash report.. but it doesn't have a next button. that's just odd.

both the mini and the full crash report, as well as screen shots or the messed up crash reporter are on http://nfriedly.com/stuff/crash

I have now closed the crash report bit and the music player is playing music just fine.

* I think that this was way unintuitive. I first tried to drag and drop my music collection onto the music player. I figured that if it didn't add it to the library, it would at least play it. Instead it just sat there and made me go through a menu or something to import my music.

Thank you for your bug. Could you attach the crash file to the bug? What version of Ubuntu do you use?

It's ubuntu 6.10, fully up to date. Here's the big crash file attached. The reason it wasn't attached to begin with is because of an apparent bug in the crash reporter.

Comment from upstream:

"Do you have the file that causes the crash available somewhere?

(I also think this has been fixed in CVS, but I might be wrong)."

Ok, I re imported my collection today (I did not first delete it though) there were 221 errors:

I got the error "The MIME type of the file could not be identified" for various files including thumbs.db, some .doc files, some .nfo files, an itunes 4 music library.itl file, and a few .mp3 files (which played just fine in xmms)

I got some "The GStreamer plugin to decode "MP3" files cannot be found" double clicking that particular file causes the system to tell me that it's a web page. it's 28.4 megs. I renamed it to .html, however, and opened it and sure enough, it show a web page with a bunch of links at the top then a _whole_ lot of jiberish - did the mp3 get appended to a web page maybe..?

another one with that error turned out to be a password protected .rar file with a .mp3 extension.

there was a number of "The GStreamer plugin to decode "DOS/Windows executable" files cannot be found" errors on cd's that tried to install shit on your computer

Another one, this is maybe the one you're looking for, got this error: "Problem occurred without error being set. This is a bug in Rhythombox or GStreamer." That file was in the same folder as the html file and played just fine in XMMS. I also got this on an .nfo file which opened in gedit when I double clicked it.

I got an "The GStreamer plugin to decode "unknown" files cannot be found" error for a .rmj file. double clicking on that one brings up movie player with an error message that I don't have the right codec to play it. (real player maybe..?)

I got one "The file is encrypted and cannot be played" on a wma file. fscking drm.

I think that was about it. I can attach any of these files or ftp them to my site, just let me know what you're looking for.

upstream comment:

"Thanks for spending all this time trying to find the problematic file. Will
close as INCOMPLETE for now then. Please re-open or file a new bug if you ever
come across this again, thanks!"

closing the distribution task also, feel free to reopen if you get the bug again and can attach an example to trigger it
