Description mjr 2003-08-14 21:35:02 UTC
Package: rhythmbox
Severity: normal
Version: 0.4.8
Synopsis: Can't recognize some mp3 files
Bugzilla-Product: rhythmbox
Bugzilla-Component: General

Description:
Description of Problem:
My netRhythmbox 0.4.8 can't recognize certain audio files; in fact, it
doesn't
even add them to the playlist when I try to introduce them.


Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Download e.g. the freely available mp3 at
http://medlem.spray.se/jeesuspelastaa/Apostolit%20-%20Jeesus%20tuli.mp3
2. Try to add it to the playlist via Organize / Add to Library

Actual Results:
Nothing happens, can't find them in the list.

Expected Results:
The files should now be found from the list and be playable.

How often does this happen?
All the time for the particular files in question.

Additional Information:
Also, some mp3 files do show up on the list, but with duration 0:0. The
player won't then play them, but displays a "Could not find media type"
dialog instead (and stops going through the playlist, which is
bothersome and perhaps a bug on its own). Don't know why. These play
well on mpg321. And, sorry to say, no, I don't have any distributable
examples.

I get the "Could not find media type" thing too.  Try the mp3
available here:  http://www.snorp.net/files/rhythmbox-bug.mp3
Comment 2 mjrauhal 2003-08-17 08:36:34 UTC
rhythmbox-bug.mp3 gives the media type message again, though for
this particular file the length (time) _is_ displayed.

(Upgraded to 0.4.99.5, by the way. The original problems still persist
also.)
