This looks like bug #465946. It's been around for quite a while, but no one has really looked into it yet. > Not able to follow all the code logic back to where entry->type was set, > and not knowing enough about the code to insert a hack like setting it > to ENTRY_TYPE_INVALID if it was zero, I decided to try change databases. > I tried recompiling with libgda support instead. The result was dozens > of compiler errors. The libgda code hasn't even been buildable since rhythmbox 0.8.x (or earlier; I don't know). This wasn't unintentional neglect. The code simply was not maintained. It has been removed entirely in more recent releases. > > Three questions: > > 1. Is my crash a known bug? probably > 2.

Is libgda even supported? no. _______________________________________________ rhythmbox-devel mailing list rhythmbox-devel@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/rhythmbox-devel
