Description Xeno_Idaltu 2018-03-19 06:12:41 UTC
I was bored so I decided to make albums with various artists. Each album I created had only songs from a particular genre and sound effects that were similar and/or had a story to tell.

When Rhythmbox's Metadata Fetch Plug-Ins are ON they automatically edit multiple songs. When I turn them OFF, one or two songs get edited. -___- I've always had this problem with Rhythmbox since 2013. Could it be that Rhythmbox's GNOME has problems with KDE'S QT scripts?

This is what I have:
* Denied Complete Access Permission to Group & Others for every song.
* All Plug Ins related to Online Metadata Fetch are turned off.
* I know I could stop Rhythmbox from editing metadata by having [Owner can Only Read]
* But I organize each song while listening to it. I have [Owner can Read & Write]

It's getting annoying.
What commands should I use to completely remove these plug-ins from the system?
* Cover Art Search
* DAAP Music Sharing
* Grilo Media Browser

Which plugins are you talking about?

Why has it taken you five years to report this, if you consider it critical?

None of these plugins are capable of editing your files.  Why do you think they need to be removed?


Can you describe what changes rhythmbox is making to your files?  Without that information there's not much I can do.
