rhythmbox 3.3.1 freezes

Open David-UPCT opened this issue 8 years ago • 6 comments

I use archlinux, and coverart-plugin 2.1 works with rhythmbox 3.3 in gnome 3.20. Today archlinux has updated rhythmbox to 3.3.1, and rhythmbox freezes unless I disable coverart plugin.

This is what I get in RB 3.3 (RB works): http://pastebin.com/5ekq5sep

This is what I get in RB 3.3.1 with coverart enabled (RB freezes at start): http://pastebin.com/7UyGeG3L

When I start RB 3.3.1 with coverart disabled, everything seems fine: http://pastebin.com/Wt6Vsi2L , but when I enable coverart RB inmediately hungs: http://pastebin.com/HQqJYhUq

I'm afraid I don't understand very well the warnings and error messages I've pasted, I don't know if you can extract some information from them. I wish you could solve the problem, IMO rhythmbox is useless without you extension.

yeah - sorry about that. RB 3.3.1 has dropped support for webkit v1 which the plugin still uses.

The plugin needs to be migrated to webkit v2.

In the interim I've got a branch (gtk318) which disables all the code that requires webkit - however it still needs more work because GTK 3.18 & GTK3.20 has broken the size-allocation of various panels that are displayed.

I'm working full time on another project at the moment but will hopefully get sometime next month to revisit coverart

I'm not sure if this issue should be closed, but coverart seems to work in Archlinux with the recent rhythmbox 3.4: http://pastebin.com/SYCcU3Bm (ignore the llyrics messages, they are related with a different plugin which unfortunately doesn't work in RB 3.4)

rhythmbox-plugin-coverart-browser 2.1-1 and rhythmbox-plugin-coverart-search-providers 1.2-1. I keep a security copy of both compiled packages: rhythmbox coverart (archlinux packages).zip

I'm writing only to confirm that rhythmbox coverart still works well in rhythmbox 3.4.1 in archlinux. I don't know what happens in other distros.
