I've been trying to get Rhythmbox to play with my DAAP enabled HPMediaVault server, and have several entries now under "Shared" in RB -
I've looked everywhere, Googled, and looked in Ubuntu forums to no avail.
Am I just overlooking something simple?
I want to remove the non-working entries that I put in the "Shared" list.
I downloaded Rhythmbox from the repositories but found that DAAP sharing is missing (it is not in the plugin list). I've searched around a bit and it's supposed to be in there standard. Does anyone know where I can find this plugin and how to add it?
(I'm using OpenSUSE 11.4 with KDE)
This is more of a question for developers of rhythmbox DAAP support. I am using rhythmbox to remotely access music exported by mt-daapd server. It works fine. But it does not seem to close connections properly. This problem is very severe when you press "prev" button a few times. How to reproduce (this just one way):
1) Start playing a few songs (playlist or an album).
2) press "next" button a few times
3) then press "prev" a few times.
The playback might even pause for many seconds if you are not a LAN. Now check connections opened by Rhythmbox.. (netstat -n | grep 3689 on client). You will notice a lot of connections, and they stay for a very long time.. multiple hours. Let me know if anyone needs more info.
I've got a small problem with Banshee that I need some help with, if possible. I'm currently using the latest version of Ubuntu 11.04 and it's up to date. The problem i'm having is with Banshee playing music files over my DAAP share. My DAAP server is running Firefly (mt-daapd), and Banshee can see the server and shares just fine. It loads the song list from the server, but when I select a song to play it just sits there. Rhythmbox works just fine, sees the share and plays the songs ok (which is what i've fallen back to for the moment), so I know it's not a hardware or software problem from the sound "system".
Other features of Banshee play just fine, including internet radio stations, internet archives, and importing songs from the server (which makes the song local instead of networked from a single source). Ok, so streaming from the DAAP share isn't working; here's the output from the terninal I started Banshee from:

I am running the latest version, 10.04 and I am having problems importing music from my XP share. I can see my music in smb://squirrel/music The share on XP has full read/write perms. I then go Rhythmbox - Music - Import Folder and click on "music on squirrel" in "places" and I can see all of my dirs on the XP share. I then click on one directory and click "open" and Rhythmbox goes back to the main screen and there is nothing in Library - Music or anywhere else.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI was wondering if there is some ind of way of removing the rhythmbox link in the volume menu in the indicator applet..It's just that I hardly use it and it's pretty annoying and redundant as well having it there. I don't want to get rid of the volume menu completely nor of rhythmbox. I just want the link gone from there. Actually it never was there until I decided to open it once. After that day, it wouldn't go, no matter how I would exit the program. I didn't have this problem in 10.04. It's just in 10.10.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI just moved all my songs over to my samba share server. I've been meaning to do it for a while and I finally did. Before that I had all my songs locally and if I needed to delete something I didn't want I could do it straight from Rhythmbox as I was listening to it (instead of tediously going through a file browser and manually deleting it).
However, now that I've put everything on to the samba share (which I've mapped to /home/chris/Music in my fstab as CIFS) I cannot delete anything from Rhythmbox. I get an "Operation not supported by backend" error. However, I can delete, copy, paste, create and do anything else fine in nuatilus, windows explorer or a terminal from any computer.
Why would I be getting this error? I'm 99.9% sure it's not a samba issue. Is it possible that Rhythmbox cannot handle remote shares except reading from them? The only workaround I can think of is to keep files both locally and on the samba share and to also create a two way sync between the two root "Music" folders. Anything updated or deleted on either end would be populated across the other. But my point here is that I shouldn't have to. I would like to just keep it simple, plus the point of having the samba share is to free up space on my local end as well as making all the songs available over the network.
Whenever I plug my Zune in, Rhythmbox recognizes all the songs on it but when I doubleclick on a song to play it, the song doesn't play and Rhythmbox quits. Any suggestions on how to fix it? I'm running a Dell XPS 410 with 4GB RAM and a 1.75 GHz processor.Also, I imported a CD and it plays fine.
View 1 Replies View RelatedFor a reason I cannot remember, some months ago I installed Rhythmbox 10.0.6 as an upgrade to the standard version in Karmic ( I think it was in an attempt to get Ipod working).Now that I have upgraded to Ubuntu 10.0.4 LTS with Rhythmbox 10.0.8 installed, I have a problem that when I try to start Rhythmbox, the old (unwanted) version starts, even though I have checked and the later version is installed.I am unable to find a way to remove 10.0.6 as in the terminal when I use commandremove --purge rhythmbox-0.12.6the message I get is "Couldn't find package rhythmbox-0.12.6" but I know it's there as the folder is in filesystem/usr/local/src/rhythmbox-0.12.6Can anybody suggest a way I can remove this old, unwanted version soI can use the new version with all its lovely benefits?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI allowed ports 3689 and 5353 for incoming and outgoing traffic in firestarter but my other machines wont detect a DAAP share. They do see them when I turn off firestarter. I'm even more confused when I see that I have a local connection using port 56690 when I turn off firestarter and monitor the log. It seems that DAAP is using 56690 but when I allow it for incoming/outgoing it still doesnt pick up my DAAP shares.
Is there a way I could fix this? I mean, I could run without a firewall but...idk if thats such a good idea :/
I just set up a quick share to allow another computer to get some files. I then noticed I was already sharing another folder elsewhere that I had forgotten to stop sharing so I stopped it from sharing.
When I got the files I wanted on my other computer I went to stop the share I had just set up but it appeared to be unshared even though I can see and access it on the network.
Any ideas how to stop this share?
Has anyone gotten DAAP sharing to work between Itunes 9 and Banshee? I have a Windows Vista, Mac OS X, and Fedora 12 box setup on my network. Both Mac and Visa have itunes 9 running on them, and when opening Banshee the Itunes Library shows under shared music but when I select it; I get the below error:
Unable to connect to music share
* The provided login credentials are invalid (I removed the share password, same issue)
*The login process was canceled
*Too many users are connected (not the case)
* The music is hosted by itunes 7 (hosted by itunes 9)
Is the Banshee DAAP plugin supported with Itunes 9? Are there any work arounds?
I have two computers and I'm trying to get them to talk to each other, but after I installed Fedora 14 on this computer, my other computer can't connect to this.

Same with DAAP I'm using rhythmbox to both broadcast and listen to the DAAP, and the rhythmbox on the remote computer cant connect here either. ssh and VNC are working on the other computer as well, I can connect to other computers using ssh on both computers, and I can VNC over to the other computer without any problems, its the traffic going myway that seems to be hitting a roadblock. is it possible that since I installed a different system (was Ubuntu Natty before, and I was using all three services before I installed Fedora), I need to do something on my remote computer so that this won't crop up?
I have a dual boot laptop Ubuntu 10.10 + Windows XP. When browsing my Windows C Drive in Ubuntu I decided to create a share to the windows "my documents" folder. The problem is that the windows drive is not automatically mounted at launch of ubuntu and as a result I get the following errors:
Code:
Could not find "/media/14F0AD48F0AD30C2/Documents and Settings/Lucas Redding"
and a search box is launched (See Attached Image).
I have tried to look at the Samba and Nautilus settings but I am unable to find any that automatically mount the windows drive.
what is the default username and password to access the firefly daap server?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI own a Sony NWZ-E345 MP3 player that used to be seen by Rhythmbox when running 9.10 with no issues. After enabling the plugin for MTP within Rhythmbox the player was seen at connection. However, after updating to 10.04 my MP3 player is not seen at all, even though MTP support is enabled under plugins. As a matter of fact none of the media players I installed can see my player and they all support MTP. I tried some other players as a troubleshooting step. I have confirmed that libmtp8 is installed via the repository. Has anyone encountered this as well? I suspect this may be an easy reply for someone. BTW, this occurs with two different machines and nothing has changed with my MP3 player.
View 1 Replies View RelatedIf i close rhythmbox using the close tab on the window it closes to a daemon on the application bar.This is both fine and handy but i have a problem in that even when i left-click the daemon and hit 'quit', Rythmbox closes and then appears again a few seconds later. The same happens if i 'killall Rrhythmbox' in the terminal.I can also see, in conky, that Rhythmbox is running as a process when it re-opens and i can effectively 'show Rythmbox from the daemon - so its not just a daemon problem.Can someone either tell me how to permanently quit a running instance of Rhythmbox or tell me what setting i have enabled that keeps Rhtymbox opening?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have just installed Rhythmbox via Synaptic..All is fine, however, I noticed that it's showing release version 0.12.8. After checking out [url] I noticed there is a newer stable version available. I have downloaded the tar.gz file, and followed the instructions in the INSTALL file.
The first step is to, in terminal, run ./configure before attempting to MAKE/MAKE INSTALL (won't let me do it anyways)..I run .configure, and at the end, I get this error:

This is preventing me from moving on during the installation.
I have tried

I upgraded to 10.4 (64bit) Ubuntu and since then have been unable to rip CD's using the procedure in the Official DocumentationUbuntu Documentation > Ubuntu 10.04 > Music, Video and Photos > Music > Extract from a CD.But when a CD is placed in the drive Rhythmbox would not run.Typing rhythmbox in a terminal (with a CD) in the drive shows the message segmentation fault.
I found in the documentation that sound-juicer was used in the ripping process and as this was not installed - so I installed this.I can now rip a CD using sound-juicer and can run rhythmbox when there is no cd in the computer but I am a little puzzled as to what is happening.
I would very much like to add FEAR.FM [URL]to the Rhythmbox radio-player. I cannot find a direct link on the website and tried some others but none of them worked.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI enjoy the features of rhythmbox, but whenever I load rhythmbox it eats up my HDD for about 7 minutes. Is there anyway to make it stop? I have 130gb of music and have already unselected the "monitor folders" box.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI like Rhythmbox more than any other music player for the simple reason that it has "Genre, Artist, Album" browsing available and doesn't shove the concept of playlists in my face, when I don't care about playlists 99% of the time. So I want to keep using it.
But lately (some months ago) after trying an upgrade to 10.10, and switching back to 10.04 (unsolvable network issues), Rhythmbox has recognized that its database has been touched by a newer version, and refuses to start.
So I took the next natural step: ~$ find . -name '*rhythmbox*'. Which led me to find ~/.gconf/apps/rhythmbox, which I promptly moved to ~/.gconf/apps/rhythmbox.bak. Lo and behold, Rhythmbox decided to start on the next try. But then, after a new start, something mysterious (to me) happens, and Rhythmbox decides it can't start again. So now I'm up to something like ~/.gconf/rhythmbox.bak12 (my philosophy: why throw away any data when you are still at 10% drive usage?), and I'm hoping that there is a guru out there who can say something along the lines of, "oh yeah, just delete ~/.secretstuff/rhythmbox-please-behave-badly, and that'll take care of it".
I have a lot of CDs and I've been uploading them onto the computer via RhythmBox to be played on RhythmBox. At first, it would get all the song titles and the artist name and the album name and all that stuff. I stopped uploading music for a week or two and started again, but now it's stopped doing getting the info, and I have to enter everything manually, and I've been doing that, but it takes a while.
What's the problem and how to I fix it? It seems it might've been related to Musicbrainz, which apparently gets album data. Did that site stop working, or did I have some free trial which ran out?Did I just happen to upload CDs with the data built in at first, and now am uploading Cs that don't have that? Not even sure it works like that.
I am trying to organize some music I just copied off cd to my hard drive. the tracks are not listed (there is no track listing or album title etc) so I go to music-properties and try to fill the stuff in. I can't type into the boxes.
