rhythmbox-metadata crashed with SIGSEGV in g_type_check_is_value_type_U()

[Curtis Calu]

I launched rhythmbox and started playing some music. Everything seemed to work normally and the music played as expected. The Software didn't crash either. I just got a pop-up saying there was a segfault in rhythmbox metadata. It had no adverse effects on the actual program though.

Thank you for your bug report. This bug has been reported to the developers of the software. You can track it and make comments at:
 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=662120

[Pierre-Olivier Megret (sorrodje)]

Bug still present in Ubuntu 12.04 amd64 .

[Joost Van Durme (joostvandurme)]

Got it in 12.04 32bit.

[Laurent Bonnaud (laurent-bonnaud)]

Marking this as a security vulnerability because receiving an audio file and adding it to a directory monitored by rythmbox could trigger this bug that might be exploited to execute arbitrary code.

[col reilly (lupinehorror)]

rhythmox was scanning my, rather large, collection and the crash happened. software kept running though.

[Rick Pontefract (rjpontefract)]

This also occurs in 12.04 64 bit.

[Sascha (skbierm-deactivatedaccount)]

1) Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Beta 1 (nightly build)

2) rhythmbox: Installiert: 2.96-0ubuntu3

3) I marked 10 mp3 files in a nautilus folder and let it rhythmbox play with the rightclick menu.

4) After starting rhythmbox, it went on importing my music directory, while also starting to play the selected music files. I clicked on the queue to see the files - and that resulted in a crash, showing up this bug report. I hope, the description helps.

[José Lou Chang (obake)]

In my case this error report launched when I was scanning or importing new songs in Rhythmbox for the first time.

Ubuntu Precise with all the updates applied.

[zob (zob)]

In my case, on updated 12.04 beta 2, it happened while importing songs to the library for the first time. In this case from a Sansa Clip+ mp3 player.

[Sascha Jazbec (jazbec)]

ubuntu beta2 is the most unstable lts release I ever tested. For the last 2 hours I reported crashs in compiz, in unity, in unity 2d, in banshee and now in rhythmbox, then arista transcoder does output 0byte files, vmwareplayer does not install and hundreds of small issues all over the place.

My oh my .. a beta2 should not have so many and such severe bugs that no music app will work and that the desktop crashes for no reasons .. the release will be a disaster. In one months this can't be fixed all.

10.0.4 was so good. I hate to say this but everything ubuntu did after this is a epic failure. I so hoped for 1204 being a LTS that it will work. I do not see that and I do not see it for April 26th either.

12.04b2 64bit
Error occured while scanning large music folder on external drive (hard-mounted via fstab, if that matters)

[Jochem (zielstra1)]

A similar situation as ODDie: scanning of large music folder on another partition (ext4) but on the same harddisk.

[Mathieu Cossette (mcossette)]

Happened when changing ID3 tags with EasyTag for an album while Rhythmbox was still open which created an importation error when importing the folder again to my music collection.

[Avery (docaltmed)]

Occurred when importing library for the first time.

[LAZA (laza74)]

Stopped playing music after a song in shuffle mode, while searching for new music on an internal NTFS drive.

[col reilly (lupinehorror)]

got this while scanning (my rather large) collection for the first time. xubuntu 12.10

[Frank Woellner (frank-woellner)]

It happened after I set a new musicfolder and RB began to import the music files in its Database. Functionallity of RB was not affected, ony the ERROR-message poped up.

[Edward Donovan (edward.donovan)]

I edited the title of the bug, to show the error as the retracer described it, and as the dupes, that I've seen, have. Thanks.

[Todor Velichkov (tosho)]

got in Ubuntu 12.10 x64

[dino99 (9d9)]

This version has expired

and there is no dupe with the recent ubuntu versions
