Artwork in rhythmbox is not retrieved from online sources

[Michel-Ekimia]

When playing a local file (or a magnatune entry) no artwork is dispayed in rythmbox.

However, if a local jpg file is present or artwork is embedded in the file , the artwork is shown.

so this might be a problem with last.fm artwork source

Moreover, no http request are done when starting to play the file. I've tried to enable/disable both artwork plugins.

I'm really surprised that such problem has not been catched

Well It seems to not happen anymore on 14.04.

Anyway We need to put rhythmbox in better shape for the future or drop it.
