Created attachment 142447 [details] The MIDI file causing the problem When trying to play a Midi file, a popup dialog box appears with the following message: Playback Error Problem occurred without error being set. This is a bug in Rhythmbox or GStreamer. This occurred when playing a Midi file with RIFF information. Attached is the Midi file which was taken from http://www.classicalmusicmidipage.com/music/?composer=1 The Midi file works without a problem when played with timidity.
Yes, Midi files inside a RIFF container are not supported yet. I'll take a look at this later...
