crashes when adding songs to playlist

[XtoF Pernod]

rhythmbox 3.0.2 / ubuntu 14.04.2
When adding a few songs to a playlist with the contextual menu, rhythmbox randomly crashes like this:

Traceback (most recent call last):

Thanks, that seems to be due to "remember-the-rhythm", is that some plugin you installed?

Hi Sebastien,

Yes, I have this plugin installed and active.

I just tried to deactivate it and add songs in playlist,
after a few steps rhythmbox stopped responding, eating
100% cpu, and finally crashed..

Regards, christophe.

In the terminal, the crash is:

'G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed

I've been getting similar crashes to the above description. After adding a few songs to a playlist, the playlist name disappears and rhythmbox crashes.

I suspect it may be this upstream bug https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=735083 which may be the same as https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=732435 and was fixed in rhythmbox 3.1: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-announce-list/2014-September/msg00076.html

[Andrew Yeomans (ayeomans)]

This bug goes away after updating Rhythmbox to version 3.2.1 following the instructions in http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2014/10/upgrade-to-rhythmbox-3-1-ubuntu-14-04/ using fossfreedom's PPA https://launchpad.net/~fossfreedom/+archive/ubuntu/rhythmbox. Blog entry is https://xpressubuntu.wordpress.com/2015/03/29/new-rhythmbox-3-2-release-for-14-04-14-10-and-15-04/

Perhaps this could be added to the official backports?

[Andrew Yeomans (ayeomans)]

I forgot to note earlier that (at least for me) the crash is not due to any extra plugins. This was using rhythmbox straight out the box from Ubuntu 14.04.

[Frédéric Courchesne (courchef)]

I use version 3.0.2 ans experience the exact same behaviour described by Andrew Yeomans in comment #5.

[Frédéric Courchesne (courchef)]

The only workaround I found is to add a song to an existing playlist and then select the playlist in the left pane immediately after the song is added before adding another song. This way I could add twenty songs in a playlist and then burn the playlist on a CD.
