Description Eric Heikes 2010-04-25 01:10:10 UTC 
When a file in a playlist can't be found, Rhythmbox hangs and afterwards can't play anything. Rhythmbox must be closed and restarted (when it automatically removes missing files from playlists).

How to reproduce:
1) Add a some MP3s from the local filesystem to a playlist.
2) Move/rename/delete one of the files in the filesystem.
5) Attempt to play that file in Rhythymbox. Rhythmbox will mark the track as missing (with the "restricted" icon). You will then either get a "Not Responding" message from the OS, or sometimes Rhythmbox pops up a dialog box that says "Couldn't start playback (Unable to start [or stop] playback pipeline)".
