Rhythmbox 0.8.3 not playing MP3

II have Rhythmbox 0.8.3 and gst-streamer installed with the plugins and libmad. The MAD MP3 plugin is registered in gst-streamer OK and I can rip CD's to MP3 format. However, Rhythmbox will not play the newly ripped MP3's or older ones ripped on another machine. The MP3 files I have do play in XMMS. SO, I think that there must be something wrong the Rythmbox pkg for Arch. I have Rhythmbox 0.8.3 working on Fedora Core 2 OK.

Re: Rhythmbox 0.8.3 not playing MP3

Running Rhythmbox from a terminal, I get the following error when I stop Ryhthmbox (just keeps skipping to then next song after about 8 or 9 seconds, no sound).

GStreamer-WARNING **: inconsistent state information, fix threading please

So, the problem appears gstreamer.

Re: Rhythmbox 0.8.3 not playing MP3

I installed Rhythmbox on my PC, but it gave me a "no /dev/dsp" error (I don't have the OSS compatibility module), so I just use xmms.  smile

Re: Rhythmbox 0.8.3 not playing MP3

I fixed the problem with "/dev/dsp" by adding permission entries in the devfsd.conf as described in Wiki on Arch site:

Setup Permissions
1.  Make a group for sound users:
# groupadd sound

2.  Add your user to the group:
# gpasswd -a USERNAME sound

3. Edit '/etc/devfsd.conf' and add these lines:
REGISTER ^sound/.* PERMISSIONS root.sound 660
REGISTER ^snd/.* PERMISSIONS root.sound 660

4.  Reload devfs:
killall -HUP devfsd

5. Log your user out and back in to ensure the sound group is loaded.

*************
Now back to Rhythmbox problem!

I have found that Fedora Core 2 is also having a problem with Rhythmbox and someone has posted a possible work around for the "no sound" problem, although I have not tested this workaround yet. See full link here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/sh … 119982#c10

Summary of fix:

Same problem here.
Perhaps related to bug #119958

> gconftool-2 -s /system/gstreamer/0.8/default/audiosink -t string esdsink

Magic this work :-)

Thanks.

In reply to comment 10:

* other ogg files fail, too
* flac files fail, too
* esd was running already
* switching default audiosink to esd makes rhythmbox work

Also working:
gst-launch-0.8 filesrc location=kb-candytron.ogg ! spider ! esdsink

Re: Rhythmbox 0.8.3 not playing MP3

On Arch and gnome 2.6, the following fixes Rhythmbox "skip-along, and don't play noth'en" problem!

login in as superuser using "su -" then (for SB Live),

gconftool-2 -s /system/gstreamer/0.8/default/audiosink -t string emu10k1

By mistake, I  entered the following, and it worked as well:

gconftool-2 -s /system/0.8/default/audiosink -t string emu10k1

I suspect the gconftool write to an XML file.
