Public bug reported: I upgrade from ubuntu 12.04 to 12.10 and along came a new version of Rhythmbox. All seemed to work well until today when Rhythmbox suddenly gave life. I kept clicking the icon but nothing happened (I saw no screen popping up like it normally would). Then I opened a terminal and typed "killall rhythmbox" and that killed the runaway process. Then I restarted by the Icon again now the screen popped up but froze after 1-2 seconds, not to wake up from. This behaviour is repeatable and the debug output (with -d) shows it stops at some query but each time a different file, E.g.:
(23:20:44) [0xa0b6da0] [rhythmdb_add_uri_with_types] rhythmdb.c:2996: queueing stat for "file:///media/HI400/mp3/%23%20Collection%20Albums/Billboard%20Top%20100%20@%201950%20-%202005/1957/50%20-%20Billboard%20Top%20100%20-%201957%20-%20Fats%20Domino%20-%20Blue%20Monday.mp3" Perhaps it will be solved when I reboot but I wanted to file the bug anyway. At the moment the "freeze" is repeatable. I have about 290Gb of mp3 files in my library. I will attach the full debug log.
