Public bug reported: I noticed this issue today. I launched Rhythmbox and it opened. I navigated through the appropriate windows to play a song, double clicked on the song, and it didn't start playing. It seemingly stoped operating so I killed it with xkill.
At this point now it no longer launches. when I try to launch it from the terminal to see if I can get any information regarding the issue it says after several seconds: Rhythmbox-CRITICAL **: Timeout was reached And exits. I can launch it in the guest account which I believe means it's likely an issue with my exsisting settings.
