Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): nautilus-media-0.8.1-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Click on file manager on the menu in gnome or in KDE start nautilus --no-desktop 2.Nautilus will not appear, though it will start a nautilus process. 3. Actual Results: Nautilus did not appear and does not work. It seems that the default for my home directory was audio view. I tried nautilus --no-desktop /tmp and it works, changing to my home directory and nautilus-media-view crashes. On the console I get the following output: nautilus --browser --no-desktop looking for type: got text/plain looking for type: got text/plain looking for type: got application/x-gnome-app-info looking for type: got text/plain looking for type: got text/plain looking for type: got audio/vnd.rn-realaudio looking for type: got application/msword ** (nautilus:4847): WARNING **: A view failed.

Can you narrow the problem down to a particular file?
I have narrowed it down to one particular wav file.
Can you attach it?
I have the same problem. This is one way to get around it for now. Uninstall nautilus-media and kill the process for nautilus and it should start. The next thing I am going to try is to install the pevious version of nautilus media to see if it causes the same problem.
I think I have found out what the problem is. I did some playing around with the prefs for nautilus and this is what I found out. With nautilus-media 0.8.1-1 installed and there is an audio file in your $Home folder it tries to play the audio file when starting nautilus. This is what I had to do to fix it. 1. Uninstall nautilus-media. 2. Kill the process for nautilus. 3. Move all audio files to another folder 4. Start nautilus and in prefs>preview>sound files>preview sound files set it to never. 5. reinstall nautilus-media now nautilus should work fine. When you set nautilus to view as Audio and try to play them it doesn't, seems that the audio player in nautilus does not play audio files as of yet, or rythmbox is not set to play audio files. I get an error when trying to play them; Error no information yet.
I can reproduce with this file, investigating now.
I worked around this for now by simply disabling support for wav files. That's certainly less than desirable but it's probably the best thing to do for FC3. Once I get a chance I'll debug and try to get an FC3 update out.
