GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 338457
Opening Multiple Files from Nautilus Creates (Many) Playlists
Last modified: 2006-04-14 13:48:21 UTC
That bug has been opened on https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/rhythmbox/+bug/39522 "While Rhythmbox is closed: 1. Select more than one media file in Nautilus (I used 20 ogg vorbis files) 2. Right click and select "Open with Rhythmbox Music Player" ... Rhythmbox opens, and creates 20 blank playlists on the left bar before playing the files. ... Additionally, it plays the songs out of order."
Adding the playlists was bug 335307. It was fixed by the change http://cvs.gnome.org/viewcvs/rhythmbox/shell/rb-shell.c?r1=1.413&r2=1.414 Playing out-of-order is bug 161107. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 335307 ***
with this patch there is no playlist create but rhythmbox doesn't start playing anything neither
That's actually what bug 161107 is (but it can also cause the out-of-order issue the OP mentioned). I should really get around to fixing that.
