I was affected by this bug, too. The "rhythmbox-plugins" package was correctly installed by default with my Ubuntu 14.04 installation.
rhythmbox: Installed: 3.0.2-0ubuntu2 rhythmbox-plugins: Installed: 3.0.2-0ubuntu2 Going to "Tools" -> "Plugins ..." and enabling " MPRIS D-Bus Interface" ( restarting Rythmbox afterwards ) fixed the issue for me. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1245495 Title: Rhythmbox controls and track info broken To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/indicator-sound/+bug/1245495/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
