Rythmbox forgets libary contents between restarts
Last modified: 2007-11-30 17:10:38 EST
Description of problem: When I close Rythmbox, and then opens it again, the media libary is empty. I have to re-add the contents of the libary each time. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 0.67 How reproducible: Always (on this particular machine, my other machine is all right) Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Libary empty Expected results: Remembering the contents of the libary Additional info:
Hmm... When i tried to open Rythmbox, I got the message asking me about where I stored my music. I ansvered, and it found my songs. But when I restarted, the libary was empty. I have tried to delete the rythmbox folders under ~/.gconf/apps and ~/.gnome2 in hope that this would reset the config. I did not do this before getting asked about which folder I used. The folders are both regenerated.
Known bug with 0.6.7-- it's only triggered if the user has never run rhythmbox on that particular machine, apparently, which is why you're seeing it on only one machine. Fixed with the new upstream release of 0.6.8, released 05 March 2004 and should hopefully make it in before FC2
what do you mean? I have ran rythmbox several times, both before upgrading from the FC1 boxed version, and also after upgrading. The problem is that each and every time I open rythmbox, I have to reinsert my music folder... Another thing I have seen is that it is somwhat poorly optimized - On my 650 Mhz P3 384 MB RAM computer, rythmbox gives me about 20% CPU utilisation when playing. XMMS stays at 4-10% while playing the same oggs, using the eSound output plugin. Why do I get the feeling that updating FC1 for such UI bugs are getting lower and lower priority (such as this and the fam+user-mountable-media-bug). FC2 is'nt out yet, and it should therefore be patched until FC2 is out and stable. just my 2 cent...
Are you sure you're using 0.6.8?
please read again - I (was) using 1.6.7, and had a problem. It dissapeared when upgrading to 1.6.8 from freshrpm's
Little off-topic, but still: Thank you very much for providing me (and many others) with a great music management application. It is really great (at least when pached so it can play .mp3's as well... Don't the frauenhofer license allow for mp3 to be distributed freely as long as you don't make money on distributing it?) Anyway - ogg's have much better quality. Even more off-topic: When will it be possible to edit the song info directly using the "properties" dialog? Isn't this quite simple to implement using the id3* shell commands? With regards Kyrre Ness Sjøbæk
We're working on tag editing, but it requires some more work in GStreamer.
