Rhythmbox crashes on startup with segfault

[Martijn_Hoekstra]

Binary package hint: rhythmbox

on startup rhythmbox shows briefly, and I get the following output at the terminal:

(rhythmbox:15239): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_unref: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed
** Message: pygobject_register_sinkfunc is deprecated (GstObject)

attempted to get a backtrace, if I should get something else, just let me know

[Martijn_Hoekstra (martijnhoekstra)]

this backtrace buisness is hard...
Attacked another one with gtk-x11 debugging symbols as well if that's any use.

[Martijn_Hoekstra (martijnhoekstra)]

removing rhythmbox-plugins fixed the crash for me.

I have sent this bug to the developers of rhythmbox here https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=632368

[Omer Akram (om26er)]

rhythmbox developers say "It's crashing inside the WINS name resolver library, which I guess is part of samba." so I am not sure what to do with this bug report.

[Martijn_Hoekstra (martijnhoekstra)]

Maybe file it against Samba?

I have a similar problem. I had a playlist from Jamendo, but after closing rhythmbox next time when it started its interface froze with no CPU or I/O activity. Had to delete all configuration files of rhythmbox in $HOME to fix that.
I had that playlist saved in the *.pls file and now trying to import in rhythmbox results in segfault. This playlist has references to the song URLs, e.g.:
File1=http://api.jamendo.com/get2/stream/track/redirect/?id=265608&streamencoding=mp31
Title1=Find your Destiny

And gotting a lot of these (not sure if its related though):
(rhythmbox:3953): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_unref: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed

Using Ubuntu 10.10 NE

Ubuntu One Music Store plugin disabling fixed the crash for me.

Is this still an issue on Natty?

I am currently running a daily build from an usb-stick. Rhythmbox starts up okay and also plays music with the mp3 plugin. Raring ringtail daily build as of 26 November 2012.
