rhythmbox (and at times totem) stops playback and then stops responding after a while all of a sudden

[Rahul Ghose]

Binary package hint: rhythmbox

I was playing an mp3 song and editing the tag of another song not in the play queue, when all of a sudden, when I saved the tag, rhythmbox stopped playing. I tried clicking on play, but it just froze. I could use the GUI for some time after but a little while later, the entire stuff totally froze.

Could you please try if that's the same case on karmic and comment back? thanks.

[Rahul Ghose (rahulg)]

No such response with Karmic as yet. It seems pretty stable.

[Pedro Villavicencio (pedro)]
