There are two different problems here, the JPEG file and the corrupt MP3.

At least for the JPEG file, this is solved upstream and it was a gstreamer bug
(in gstreamer-plugins), the upstream bug being Bug#155814.

Now for the MP3 part, can you provide an extract of a problematic MP3?

Thanks.

I can provide some from the Debian bugtracker... :)

I have no idea if they reproduce the same problem than yours, but we might some
them all so it's worth trying.

Sample MP3 1 which prevents rhythmbox from exiting

This sample MP3 prevents rhythmbox for exiting if you call 'rhythmbox "All I
Want Is You.mp3"'.  You can use rhythmbox normally, you won't hear that MP3
(which is very short) and you won't be able to exit rhythmbox.

Sample MP3 2 which prevents rhythmbox from exiting

This sample MP3 prevents rhythmbox for exiting if you call 'rhythmbox
"AudioBookForFreeCom  Crown Of Swords 06_24.mp3"'.  You can use rhythmbox
normally, you won't hear that MP3 (which is very short) and you won't be able
to exit rhythmbox.

*stuck*, nothing happens

I have the same problem, running on gentoo. :| I'm trying to move away from juk
mp3 player and kde, and this is the only thing stopping me. :)

I even started writing a python script to create the rhythmbox.xml database
before i stubled upon bugzilla here.

Issues with short files are fixed in GStreamer CVS and should be fixed in the
upcoming next release of gstreamer/gst-plugins.
Andjelko, are you getting that with a short file too ?

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 158018 ***

Sorry, it is not a duplicate of 158018.  The reporter reported *TWO* problems at
the same time.  Indeed, the JPEG problem is solved (and I'm quite confident that
the MP3 problem is fixed in gstreamer CVS, but I did not check), please don't
merge the MP3-related bug with the JPEG one.

I'm reopening, and living as NEW until someone confirms this is fixed upstream
(Gstreamer).

The files are really small, this is the same issue imo. Confirmed by testing
with rb+gstreamer CVS which doesn't hang when importing those 2 files.

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 158018 ***

Sorry to insist, I just rebuilt the latest version of gstreamer,
gstreamer-plugins and rhythmbox 0.8, and both MP3 will use 100% of CPU (although
it does not appear to be so in the output of "top", the system has no idle anymore).

Also, you can not close rhythmbox, it hangs on *exit* (not on import).

Are you sure this is fixed in 0.8?  I could understand that you do not wish to
fix it in 0.8, but then please confirm it is broken in 0.8, and leave this bug
open with a 0.8 version information.

FYI, this is how I've checked:
- I've built and installed gstreamer in a temporary directory,
- I've built gstreamer-plugins with gstreamer's pkgconfig file in that temporary
directory and installed it in that temporary directory too,
6 built rhythmbox-0.8 from the latest arch version,
- I then ldd'ed rhythmbox with LD_LIBRARY_PATH on that dir, and checked
libgstreamer0.8 was loaded from the temporary dir,
- I ran rhythmbox with this LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
Maybe I made a mistake in my test environment and I did not truly check against
latest gstreamer/gstreamer-plugins/rhythmbox?

It is fixed in GStreamer CVS, dunno what you tried that with. It definitely
doesn't happen here with rhythmbox 0.8 and gst* CVS HEAD.
