GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 661127
Rhythmbox unresponsive at the end of a song

Sometimes, not always, but enough to become an annoyance (about 1 out of 4 songs), Rhythmbox become unresponsive at the end of a song. The interface become completely unresponsive, although it still allows me to close without it hanging/freezing (i.e. instantaneous closing). I'm using the latest git from git://git.gnome.org/rhythmbox and I can confirm, but not necessarily limited to, using Gstreamer 0.10 FFMpeg Plugin. I'm using GNOME 3.2 with gnome-shell. I also tend to have rhythmbox on another work space while doing something else when it happens. The only settings I've changed from default settings is the watch library for new files setting and shuffle/play in random order.
I see something like this occasionally, but I haven't managed to look into it much yet. Can you provide a stack trace from rhythmbox once it's become unresponsive? See http://live.gnome.org/GettingTraces for information on how to do this.
I'm a little busy right now, but I'll be sure to get a trace as soon as I possibly can. I would like to note that I've noticed from my clone/build I took a week or so ago versus the clone I made upon creating this bug, the occurrences seemed to have significantly dropped. I have been able to reproduce one time, which was in a period of time that I would have had it happen at least 3 or 4 times with the former build.
I can't seem to reproduce this with the latest git. I think it must have been fixed or I had an issue with my build. Unless someone else can reproduce this, this issue seems to be gone, I think.
