Rhythmbox crashes after few seconds

[jonaternet]

This happens anytime I try to launch Rhythmbox.
I always get this error, (edit) and If I try to launch it from command line :

RhythmDB:ERROR:rhythmdb-tree.c:1517:remove_child: assertion failed: (g_hash_table_remove (parent->children, data))

When launching Rhythmbox with --debug, I get just before the crash :

couldn't access file:///media/gro/musique2/Underground_-_B.O/09 - Unknown Artist - Track 9.mp3: Error when getting information for file '/media/gro/musique2/Underground_-_B.O/09 - Unknown Artist - Track 9.mp3': No such file or directory

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Hello, there is some misunderstanding here, I should have written :
This happens anytime I try to launch Rhythmbox.
I always get this error, *and* If I try to launch it from command line : <rest of bug description>

It is *not* only if I try to launch it from command line ! It is anytime I try to launch it.
I also want to add, this could be due to the fact that /media/gro is mounted at startup and is not on the same disk as root :

jonath@jonath-MS-7369:~$ grep gro /etc/fstab
/dev/sdb1 /media/gro ext4 rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=udisks2 0 0

So this could be linked with : "/media/gro is already a mount point" but I don't think it causes the bug (?)

Workaround :
renaming the file ~/.local/share/rhythmbox/rhythmdb.xml and re-scan the music folder works.

I had the same problem and was able to fix it by removing the entry for the missing file from rhythmdb.xml
