Description John O'Dwyer 2010-10-02 20:24:01 UTC 
Rhythmbox will not play mp3 files stored on my Samsung YP-P2 MTP device. It gives the following Playback error: "No file name specified for reading". However Rhythmbox will play m3 files stored on the hard drive of my laptop.On occassion the following steps fixes the error:

In Rhythmbox go to "Edit" and then "Preference"s. Choose the "Playback" tab. Under "Player Backend" tick the box for "Use crossfading backend (requires restart)". Then quit Rhythmbox. Launch Rhythmbox and you should then be able to play mp3 files stored on your mp3 device.

Since upgrading to Ubuntu 10.10 this fix no longer works.

    mtp: convert GStreamer source bin into a GstBaseSrc subclass (bug #631191)
    
    The previous bin-containing-filesrc approach stopped working somewhere along
    the line.  Now we read from the file directly.

Thank you Jonathan for the fast resolution

When this fix drops into Ubuntu as an update I will test and post the result.
