I've given up on this. I am at a loss to understand how Rhythmbox can fail on a Plain Vanilla 9.04 install reading a file while using the same file system as the other applications on the system. I.e. Movie Player and Image browser can access the same SMB shares (and files for that matter) without a problem.
Having such frustratingly basic problems for so long has led me to another approach. I ditched the workstation (was only for playing music), installed Squeezeserver and am running everything over a Squeezebox. Works perfectly, has much less of a footprint, and I can now again spend my evenings listening to my favorite music. :-) I hope that the rest of you guys who persevere longer (or has more insight) than me have more luck in getting rhytmbox to work. I still have another Ubuntu machine which exhibits the same problems.... -- Rhythmbox can not use smb:// as library location https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/273294 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
