Description stefano.terna 2013-01-24 23:59:05 UTC 
test device: samsung gt-i5500
Manually created folder Music on root of device file system.
No playlist folder created and no .is_audio_player file configured.

Selecting device on rhythmbox left pane causes function default_load_playlists to search for playlists through the entire file system tree, resulting in the application to hang.

Manually creating a playlist folder in the root of the device solves the issue.

A suggestion could be to make no search at all for playlists if the playlist_path is null for the device 

(which turns out to be the same behaviour applied for music folder, if absent rhythmbox doesn't start to search through the entire file system)
