** Summary changed: - [Hardy] Rhythmbox loads songs before checking which directories to load from + [Hardy] Rhythmbox does not listen to HAL regarding audio_folders
** Description changed: Binary package hint: rhythmbox I noticed this when Rhythmbox attempted to load files outside the MUSIC/ - directory on my iAudio and threw a bunch of import errors. It turns out - it's been reported and fixed in upstream SVN. The patch should be - easily backportable. - - According to the upstream bug, it can cause Rhythmbox to crash, so this - should be fixed for release. - - I can't figure out how to link it to the upstream bug, so it's here: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=505340 - The description there is: - This problem is present in the file - plugins/generic-player/rb-generic-player-source.c - - The function load_songs (line 709) uses folders that were determined by HAL and - saved into the priv variable (line 725). However HAL loads the variable after - load_songs is called (see line 223, get_device_info loads the priv variable), - so load_songs never has the audio_folders. - - This can cause rhythmbox to crash when the generic player contains music only - in the folders determined by HAL and stored in audio_folders. - - Calling get_device_info before load_songs fixes the problem. I attached the - simple patch. - - - The patch to which he refers can be found on the original GNOME Bugzilla page. + directory on my iAudio and threw a bunch of import errors.
