Public bug reported:
In my ~/Music folder I have a corrupted copy of
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:I.S.Bach-BWV578.ogg
Naturally, Rhythmbox will often stop playing this file when in reaches
the corrupt data (though exactly where it stops and if it stops is
inconsistent). The problem is that twice it has given the following
message after choking on the file:
"Search for suitable plugin?
The required software to play this file is not installed. You need to install
suitable plugins to play media files. Do you want to search for a plugin that
supports the selected file?
The search will also include software which is not officially
supported."
This occurs on Ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS with Rhythmbox 0.12.8-0ubuntu7
Expected results: Upon encountering corrupt data, Rhythmbox should
display an appropriate error message indicating that the file type is
supported by the installed plugins but the file seems to be corrupt and
needs to be redownloaded.
Actual results: Either no error message is displayed and playback stops
(acceptable but suboptimal, and happens most of the time), or playback
stops and a misleading error message is displayed indicating that a new
plugin is required to read the file (this has happened twice), despite
the fact that the file has already been read successfully up to the
point where it is corrupted (which presumably involves determining that
the file type is supported by the current plugins).
