Title:
Rhythmbox uses 100% CPU and high IO and then crashes
Status in “rhythmbox” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
What I did:
Double-click on a PLS file from http://evolectronica.com/ with the
following contents:
[playlist]
NumberOfEntries=1
File1=http://ec2-54-247-3-167.eu-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com:8000/channel2
Title1=Evolectronica - evolving electronic music

What I expected to happen:
An appropriate program (I don't care what) opens and starts playing
an internet radio stream.
What actually happened:
Rhythmbox opened, displayed the text "Not Playing", turned gray, and
for about 5 minutes used 100% CPU and caused extreme disk IO usage.
For a brief moment, Rhythmbox regained its color and I caught a
glimpse of what appeared to be a list of data import failures. For
reasons that escape me, the list cited many files from my home folder
which have nothing to do with audio—things like operating system disk
images, firmware binary dumps, source tarballs, etc.—and which I was
not using at the time.
I didn't get a good look at that screen because moments later
Rhythmbox disappeared entirely, only to be replaced with the message
"Sorry, the program 'rhythmbox' closed unexpectedly. Your computer
does not have enough free memory to automatically analyze the problem
and send a report to the developers."
