rhythmbox crashed with SIGABRT in __libc_message()

[Ismail Gjevori]

Rhythmbox couldn't import music from the folder. There weren't gstreamer plugin installed. The behavior that is expected rhythmbox that search for the plugins and ask to install them. Instead of this the application crashed.

    How to produce:
                           *Open Rhythmbox(be sure there are no plugins installed)
                           *Music ---> Import folder

After this bug i'm unable to open Rhythmbox from SoundMenu. The only way to start the app is the use of the dash.

I found even this crash file in /var/crash

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to look at all reported bugs in a timely manner. There have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time you reported the bug and your problem may have been fixed with some of the updates. It would help us a lot if you could test it on a currently supported Ubuntu version. When you test it and it is still an issue, kindly upload the updated logs by running apport-collect <bug #> and any other logs that are relevant for this particular issue.

This happens to me. I removed libavcodec54 (which causes crash in rhythmbox-metadata) and now starting RB causes this.
