I have the same problem on two different machines both running ubuntu 9.04.
Emmanuels excellent suggestion of using "gnomevfs-ls smb://smbserver/mymusic" fixed the problem for me too, but it's localized to rhythmbox as VLC and Movie Player has no problems regardless of whether gnomevfs-ls has been run or not. I am also certain there is a problem with rhythmbox as calling gstreamer directly as instructed in /usr/share/doc/rhythmbox/README.debian (i.e. gst-launch playbin uri=smb://smbserver/mymusic/musicfile.ogg) plays the music. -- Rhythmbox can not use smb:// as library location https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/273294 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
