Pedro: I ran into this problem by placing a .tar.bz2 file in my Rhythmbox "library" location.
Ingo: If I understand correctly (I am also affected by this bug), it /is/ a problem with Rhythmbox, because it doesn't keep track of which files (or file types) have been seen before, and for which a codec search has been performed. I currently have two files in the library with import errors. One of them is a tar.bz2, and the import error says "The GStreamer plugins to decode "Bzip archive" files cannot be found. The other is a wpl (Windows [Media Player] Play List), and the import error is the same, except about "SMIL document" files. The bz2 file causes the error to pop up every time RB is started; the wpl file does not. IMO there are two fixes for this: 1a. Keep track across sessions of all files in the library, regardless of whether they're playable. Only offer to search for a codec if/when new files are found. 1b. Keep track of what file types have had a codec search performed. Remember results for each file type, so RB doesn't keep prompting for the same files/file types repeatedly. 2. In either case, allow the user to manually initiate a new codec search via a right-click on the "Import Errors" entry. -- Rhythmbox keeps trying to install codecs https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/204566 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
