View 1 Replieswe were watching Clint Eastwood in Pink Cadillac on DVD. Earlier, I had been checking out the streaming internet radio on my roommates Mint laptop using Rhythmbox, and found it to be pretty cool. Usually, if I stream any music, it's just from the CBC (like the U.S.'s NPR), so I just stream it directly from them, but all the stations on rhythmbox (there's a whack of them) got me interested. At the start of Pink Cadillac, I proposed myself a challenge: Could I manage to get rhythmbox (a GNOME application) to work on my Slack64 -current box, before the movie ended? There's probably (maybe?) a similar app that installs and works more natively on Slack, but that's not the point; I wanted to try installing rhythmbox in < 2 hrs. Well, I got it installed finally, *just* at the end of the movie credits, but it won't play! And sometimes it segfaults. So, I wonder if anyone has any tips about what I might be missing or whatever.
Here's what I typically get when I first start it up (though it starts & runs OK):
Code:
sasha@reactor: rhythmbox
Xlib: extension "RANDR" missing on display ":0.0".
(rhythmbox:15745): GdkPixbuf-CRITICAL **: IA__gdk_pixbuf_get_width: assertion `GDK_IS_PIXBUF (pixbuf)' failed
(rhythmbox:15745): Rhythmbox-WARNING **: Unable to grab media player keys: Could not get owner of name 'org.gnome.SettingsDaemon': no such name

Seems even on systems with some sort of 'natural' support for installing this thing, a lot of people are getting the same or very similar errors, but I haven't found a solution (obviously - I wouldn't be posting otherwise ) but people, myself included, have discovered that there doesn't seem to be a 100% accurate list of *required* dependencies for rhythmbox; it needs stuff that it doesn't tell you it needs.
EDIT: Disclaimer (just to cut the 'dependency-hell' arguments off at the pass, so to speak): This is just a fun experiment for me. I don't suggest Slackware newbies start trying to install <xyz Gnome application> into their Slackware boxes unless you want to spend HOURS fixing stuff like this, and you want to have fun doing it, and have it maybe bork your box up. And if you *do* decide to try it anyways, don't blame Slackware for giving you dependency hell. Gnome doesn't come with Slackware (here's the ChangeLog). I like Slackware exactly the way it is - it comes with more than enough apps to satisfy most people, all nicely working out of the box, so installing stuff like this is not really necessary - but I'm choosing to do this one anyway, and am not deterred by this "mess" of stuff.If this dependency stuff isn't your 'cup of tea', an 'automatically-dependency-resolving' distro might be better for you; I prefer to mess my machine up on my own, rather than let my package manager do it for me.
how Rhythmbox creates the "Open Rhythmbox" button in the Nautilus Explorer window ?I would like to create my own button that does something else (that deals with an iPod being plugged in).
View 4 Replies View RelatedWhenever 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 2 Replies View RelatedI'm having sort of an odd problem trying to burn Cds through Rhythmbox on 9.10. Sometimes it has no problem burning the disc, but lately after I hit "burn" nothing happens and my fan starts running really loud. I think the disc just sits there spinning.
I can still burn discs using brasero, but it seems to be taking a lot longer than it should be. I'm hoping someone might have a quick fix for burning playlists straight from rhythmbox.
I'm using Audacious as my MP3 player, because I just can't take Rhythmbox any longer.I want to set Audacious as the default player for MP3s and Oggs, but I don't seem to be able to. When I open an audio file, it plays in MPlayer. There's an option in the GNOME context menu to open something with a certain programme, so I do that, and then you can choose the programme and tick a box to remember your choice. But the choice isn't remembered - audio still opens in MPlayer.
So then I went to the Default Programmes option in the GNOME Preferences Menu, expecting to find MPlayer as the default media player, but it's not, it's Rhythmbox, which never opens if you double-click on audio files.How do I sort this out and make it so I can set this from one place? It's a pretty big usability fail. How do I make a bug report about it?
I 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.

Just sorted out my ubuntu 1 and wanted to have a play on rhythmbox but cant seem to open it.
I click on it and in the toolbar it appears momentarily then goes.
I tried a clean uninstall, reinstall and reboot but that made no difference.

I'm currently using 10.04, but the issues was in 9.10 as well, I updated thinking It may fix something.
For 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 1 Replies View RelatedIn Lucid, I got rid of both gnome panels, and just now remembered that Rhythmbox opens to the top panel by default (at least for me), which means when I opened it I got nothing. How do I change this so that it just opens onto the desktop? I looked in edit/preferences of Rhythmbox but theres nothing in there.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI had a drive failure on my media server. I have replaced the drive and since my backup was a bit out of date I lost some material.
I thought, no biggie, I'll get everything back in order and just use the Missing Files list in Rhythmbox to figure what's missing.
Problem. Though the file count diminishes as Rhythmbox scans the library for file changes, nothing is being added to the Missing Files list. I have done this on two machines (one the server itself, the other across a Samba share). Same behaviour.
I have never seen Rb count down files and not add them to the Missing Files list.
My RhythmBox was on my Cario Dock and then all of a sudden its not allowing me to control it from the dock anymore. Like I use to be able to scroll down on it and it would go to next song.
Anyway to get it back on the dock and be able to use those gestures again?
I'm trying to get Rhythmbox to play my WMA files. I did some research and I found an old thread on the forums, and I tried what the people said, but I still can't get my WMA files to play and I can't post any replies Maybe there's something I'm missing?
Here's the thread I was checking out: [URL]
If 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'm having issues with adding radio stations on Rhythmbox. The default radio stations also somehow disappeared.
list of radio stations. And, what do they mean by url of the radio station. Every url I enter seems to be invalid.
I think this started after upgrading to 10.10. Rhythmbox won't open for some reason. It opens up for a second and closes. I only tried it because Banshee wasn't playing any songs. When I try to open a song it just closes the whole program. A few programs won't open for me actually, at all, including Liferea Feed Reader which I installed recently.

Ok, I install it, like in windows, pressing install, like all firefox add-ons, It restarts firefox, and I only see the cross plataforms player, no linux player is at the list, and a message in the top of the cross plataforms players "No player modules found, check installation", Im translating spanish to english, so in english it can be something similar.
Is there anything I should install so foxytunes works with linux players?
Running Maverick Meerkat fairly close to original specs. When launching Rhythmbox from either the command line or the applications menu, the window appears briefly and closes whether or not I interact with it. During its time open (~3sec), it gives no indication that it recognizes input, i.e. menus do not open and buttons do not depress when clicked.
While running from the terminal, the following output is displayed.
Code:
(rhythmbox:2068): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_unref: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed
** Message: pygobject_register_sinkfunc is deprecated (GstObject)
