rhythmbox crashes on prompt for codec download on 'known' files

[spaceyjase]

Binary package hint: rhythmbox

The codec search dialog pops-up during a 'refresh' of the watched directories even if previously 'seen' by rhythmbox. It is possible to crash rhythmbox if the main GUI is closed before the user dismisses the codec prompt.

A possible solution could be to save the list of problematic files be saved to the users home directory and if found later on re-scanning (say, when RB starts), the file is ignored if the user last ignored the file. An optional 'clean known problematic files cache' could be added or even cleared when a manual 're-scan' occurs.

Thanks for the report, may you please run rhythmbox as: rhythmbox --debug &> rhythmbox-debug.txt perform the operation to reproduce the bug and attach that resulting file to the report? thanks.

As requested, output from debug. This debug file shows rhythmbox crashing if the main GUI is closed before the 'codec' dialog. The remaining thread is left running but that's a separate issue?

Since this report have a long time without activity, please could you check (if is possible) in latest version included in Karmic if this issue is still happening? Thanks in advance.

Hi folks,

RB no longer zombies if I close the main window before the popup so I consider it fixed. Thanks for following up.
