Created attachment 193804 [details] [review] proposed patch to circumvent the crash rhythmbox crashes very often while listening to podcasts for me. see also the backtrace in the corresponding fedora bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=708782 For some reason the rhythmdb entry->type is null: (gdb) frame 1

I'm not going to accept this patch as it just papers over a serious problem. Please attach a copy of your rhythmdb.xml file and output from 'rhythmbox -D rhythmdb' showing this crash occurring.
I have also hit this problem, or at least it is a crash in the same function. I am going to attach the report file that the abrt tool collected.
Created attachment 196967 [details] ABRT tool report Report from the ABRT tool collected when rhythmbox crashed with a segfault while playing a podcast.
By the way, Jonathan. I am not sure that asking for a reproduction using -D is realistic. I can play podcasts for hours without hitting this problem. Even the same podcast that crashed before.
Created attachment 196968 [details] Local rhythmdb.xml file This is the rhythmdb.xml file that I was using when rhythmbox crashed. The entry that was being played is: <entry type="song"> <title>Writing Excuses Season 3 Episode 28: World-Building Gender Roles</title> <genre>Podcast</genre> <artist>Brandon Sanderson, Howard Tayler, Dan Wells</artist> <album>Writing Excuses</album> <track-number>28</track-number> <duration>1029</duration> <file-size>12367469</file-size> <location>file:///home/lynx/Music/Podcasts/Writing%20Excuses/Writing%20Excuses%20Season%203%20Episode%2028_%20World-Building%20Gender%20Roles.mp3</location> <mtime>1308970496</mtime> <first-seen>1309386767</first-seen> <bitrate>96</bitrate> <date>733408</date> <mimetype>application/x-id3</mimetype> </entry>
