Hi guys,

This problem is present in the file plugins/generic-player/rb-generic-player-source.c

The function load_songs (line 709) uses folders that were determined by HAL and saved into the priv variable (line 725). However HAL loads the variable after load_songs is called (see line 223, get_device_info loads the priv variable), so load_songs never has the audio_folders.

This can cause rhythmbox to crash when the generic player contains music only in the folders determined by HAL and stored in audio_folders.

Calling get_device_info before load_songs fixes the problem. I attached the simple patch.
