[Bug 204566] Re: Rhythmbox keeps trying to install codecs
I had this bug, here is the workaround I used 1. Go to the import errors tab, select all, right click, select "remove from library" 2. go to Edit > Preferences > Music and deselect "watch my library for new files" This means you have to manually add new files, but it's much less annoying than the origional bug. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/204566 Title: Rhythmbox keeps trying to install codecs -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

I'm really surprised this bug has low priority. Having a *.txt file somewhere in the library I have to tell Rhythmbox not to try finding a codec for text/html every time I start it — is that sane? I mean, every time I start Rhythmbox I'm presented with annoying evidence that this piece of software is so poorly designed it can't tell media files from text! For me, this behaviour was introduced after upgrade to Jaunty Alpha, in Intrepid Rhythmbox is clever enough not to try playing text files, archives or spreadsheets.

I guess so.

You can always uncheck EDIT/PREFERENCES/MUSIC(tab) / "watch my library for new files" for a quick workaround. It stops the "searching of codecs".

this behaviour is new since upgrading to Ubuntu 8.04; on each restart it tells me that SOME FILE has an unknown codec, but it does not identify that file nor does it find the missing codec. Very annoying. I have not added any files since before the upgrade, so the prior behaviour must have either been to ignore the errant file, or, is it possible, the previous Ubuntu editions HAD this codec? -- Rhythmbox keeps trying to install codecs https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/204566 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 204566] Re: Rhythmbox keeps trying to install codecs
Pedro: I ran into this problem by placing a .tar.bz2 file in my Rhythmbox "library" location. Ingo: If I understand correctly (I am also affected by this bug), it /is/ a problem with Rhythmbox, because it doesn't keep track of which files (or file types) have been seen before, and for which a codec search has been performed. I currently have two files in the library with import errors. One of them is a tar.bz2, and the import error says "The GStreamer plugins to decode "Bzip archive" files cannot be found. The other is a wpl (Windows [Media Player] Play List), and the import error is the same, except about "SMIL document" files. The bz2 file causes the error to pop up every time RB is started; the wpl file does not. IMO there are two fixes for this: 1a. Keep track across sessions of all files in the library, regardless of whether they're playable. Only offer to search for a codec if/when new files are found. 1b. Keep track of what file types have had a codec search performed. Remember results for each file type, so RB doesn't keep prompting for the same files/file types repeatedly. 2. In either case, allow the user to manually initiate a new codec search via a right-click on the "Import Errors" entry. -- Rhythmbox keeps trying to install codecs https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/204566 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 204566] Re: Rhythmbox keeps trying to install codecs
I have studied the behaviour of this bug in the recent days, and found out that this does not seem to be a problem directly resulting from a problem with Rhythmbox. It occurs, because everytime I start Rhythmbox, it keeps reindexing certain files, which can't be imported at all. They are listed under "Import Errors" and deleted again when I close Ryhthmbox, while indexed again when I restart it. That is why this message box (although I don't try to start such a errenous song at all) is displayed all the time. Actually I'm not content with that behaviour, because it keeps my externahl hard drive, on which I store my music, busy all the time and thereby stresses it extremely, shortening its lifetime. -- Rhythmbox keeps trying to install codecs https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/204566 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
