Description Thore 2015-04-07 16:50:05 UTC 
Description of problem: I can't play or import mp3 music (haven't been able to test with other formats) with rhythmbox as a normal user. On root it works fine.

Expected results:
Rhythmbox playing music

Additional info:
VLC and as mentioned rhythmbox as root can play the music and rhythbox can import my music collection but I don't want to run my music player as root.
Comment 1 Thore 2015-04-17 17:16:52 UTC 
I've tried to add a file via drag and drop to the library and checked rhythmbox -d again:

(rhythmbox:18722): GLib-GIO-CRITICAL **: g_file_info_get_attribute_uint64: assertion 'G_IS_FILE_INFO (info)' failed
(19:12:42) [0x24d9b80] [rb_encoder_gst_emit_completed] rb-encoder-gst.c:142: destination file size: 0
(19:12:42) [0x24d9b80] [encoder_completed_cb] rb-track-transfer-batch.c:543: encoder finished (error: Didn't get a playback URI for entry file:///home/tamwyn/Musik/Hozier%20-%20Take%20Me%20To%20Church.mp3)
Gtk-Message: GtkDialog mapped without a transient parent. This is discouraged.


Additionally I recieve a window with the content:
"Didn't get a playback URI for entry file:///home/tamwyn/Musik/Hozier%20-%20Take%20Me%20To%20Church.mp3"


What could be the problem with the permissions from the encoder that it works as root?
Comment 2 fulminemizzega 2015-09-04 00:48:31 UTC 
Hello,
I encountered this issue with fedora 22, trying to play an mp3 file. This is what I discovered:
renaming mp3 file makes it work.
duplicating the mp3 file with nautilus (the copy has a "(copy)" appended to the filename), and opening the new mp3 file works. The old file continues to not work.

I tried also running rythmbox with root, and it plays the original file as Thore reported.
Comment 3 wibrown@redhat.com 2015-10-27 03:42:51 UTC 
cd ~/Music
find . -exec touch '{}' \;

Corrected the issue for me, all my files are now importing and accessible.
Comment 4 Fedora End Of Life 2016-07-19 13:39:50 UTC 
Fedora 22 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-07-19. Fedora 22 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
Comment 5 crvi 2020-09-13 08:49:54 UTC 
Is this still an issue on latest rhythmbox 3.4.4 ?
Comment 6 crvi 2020-09-13 08:50:28 UTC 
What filesystem was the audio file on ?
Comment 7 Thore 2020-09-17 02:33:02 UTC 
I haven't used rhythmbox in the last 4 years and have no comparable system to try to reproduce this this again.

I have been experimenting with btrfs at that time, though it is unlikely that this was on fedora.
