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

in precise , i have to lauch listen radio and the sofware has crashed

[Achim Behrens (k1l)]

same for me.
just reinstalled the radio plugin, hit an stream that worked before (and is still fine on other players) and ryhthmbox crashed.

Me too (three?).

I am running Ubuntu 12.04 x86_64 on an HP Mini, it is an upgrade from an earlier version, not a fresh install. I uninstalled rhythmbox, did a sudo apt-get update, removed my ~/.cache/rhythmbox, installed rhythmbox, it still crashes. A similar report on redhat suggests it is related to network something but this happens to me purely local with the network turned off. Backtrace

The segfault happens pretty much right away after I click the "play" icon (right triangle), but if I don't hit play it runs a long time.

When I start rhythmbox from the command line, I also get a HUGE number of messages of the form

(rhythmbox-metadata:12723): GStreamer-CRITICAL **: gst_object_unref: assertion `object != NULL' failed

(rhythmbox:12347): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_value_get_uint: assertion `G_VALUE_HOLDS_UINT (value)' failed
[New Thread 0x7fffda78a700 (LWP 12727)]

(rhythmbox-metadata:12731): GStreamer-CRITICAL **: gst_object_unref: assertion `object != NULL' failed

I do not know if these are related. I assume they happen anyway, but when launched from the tray they go to a log file or /dev/null or something. The NULL seems suspiciously related, but maybe is coincidence.

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.
