Hi,
I'm using Rhythmbox 2.97 under Ubuntu 12.10 (64 bit) with a song library of
about 17000 entries (NTFS formatted).
I'm facing the same(?) problem: Rhythmbox crashes on startup.
It happened several times in the last months.
The library has about 17000 entries (on NTFS disk).
HOW TO REPRODUCE
For my observation it seems to come to a crash (segmentation fault) when
a) file is not existing any more (in my case the folder was renamed) AND
b) some Rhythmbox internal timeout ("not seen for too long") is reached which
triggers the removal of this entry from the library (see below)
Due to this internal timeout (days, weeks, months???) it's hard to reproduce
for me and I'm not sure if it happens for each renamed folder.
Also not sure if whitespace encoding (%20) is playing a role here.
WORKAROUND
My workaround is to remove the whole <entry> tag for listed file causing the
crash (see below) from ~/.local/share/rhythmbox/rhythmdb.xml. Then Rhythmbox
works normal again.
But I would prefer if Rhythmbox can handle this issue itself;)
Thanks anyway for Rhythmbox!
