rhythmbox crashed when pluged in and removed mp3-player w/o having codec installed

[Patrik Schönfeldt]

Binary package hint: rhythmbox

(Gusty, Rhythmbox 0.11.4-0ubuntu6)
I plugged in my Digital Audio Player (Samsung YP-U2R) with mainly OGG Vorbis (~1GB), some MP3-Tracks (~300MB) and a few other binary files (7z compressed Files, <10MB) on it. Rhythmbox started and put tracks into library. After a while the codec installer started and I added the two codecs shown in the list (Gstreamer extra plugins and Gstreamer ffmpeg video plugin). After installation Rhythmbox was frozen and it crached when I unmounted the device.

Thanks for your report, trace is similar to http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=442486, can you still reproduce this ? may you tell us a few steps in order to reproduce the crash? thanks in advance.

[Patrik Schönfeldt (bauer87)]

I just tried and I can still reproduce the crash. What I do:

1. Not have proprietary codecs installed.
2. Plug in removable device (MP3 Player).
3. (Rhythmbox opens and asks if you want to search for suitable codecs.)
4. Confirm. (Codecs are beings searched.)
5. Unmount removable device.
6. Close "Add/Remove Programs" after successful installation of codecs (do not want to add more software).
7. Wait some seconds. (Rhythmbox is frozen, you cannot resize the window, klick buttons or anything.)
7. Rhythmbox crashes.

(If you wonder why anybody unmounts the device while codecs are being installed: The first time I removed the device because I realized that I have the music available in my local network.)

This *only* happens when you are searching for codecs? The usptream bug is unconnected to codecs.

[Patrik Schönfeldt (bauer87)]

I cannot reproduce the bug anymore. When I reported this bug rhythmbox started automatically when I plugged in my music player and started importing media. Now it does neither start nor import media. Instead nautilus opens to shows the content. Opening rhythmbox manually has no effect either. It seems that it is not detected as a music device but as an external hard disk: The icon looks like the one of a hdd.

I remember that it says that the device is currently in use when you try to unmount it without the installation codecs (or at least without this dialog popping up).

closing since the way rhythmbox is called on those devices changed and the submitter doesn't get the bug in hardy now, feel free to reopen if you get the issue again though
