Hi Almufadado, could you please test the latest ubuntu release, e.g. daily live ISO? And what is the charset encoding for the tags in your mp3 files. If this is caused by tags not in utf-8, could you try put "export GST_ID3_TAG_ENCODING=<possible mp3 tags charset encoding>" (e.g. ISO8859-15) to your .bashrc file and re-login to see if anything changes?
You could also do a quick trial within a shell as: $> set GST_ID3_TAG_ENCODING=<...> $> gst-launch --tags uridecodebin uri=file:///<path to your mp3 file> ! fakesink And see what's the output. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to rhythmbox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/934192 Title: Files and fields with portuguese characters corrupts the database and idv (2/3?) Status in “rhythmbox” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I have my Ubuntu 10.10 in portuguese language and I often use portuguese characters like "á ã é ó ê ç " and also I have mp3 files mfrom PT brasil, swedish, noruegian, eslavic languages, spanish (ñ) korean, chinese and even japanese. Since some rhythmbox upgrades ago my massive database get corrupted and all files are taken from the database (with a big CPU stress) and after close and re-opening the app many files that include non-english (lol) characters have the field(s) containing those characters removed and idv tag is replace with whatever (sending a lot of work to the place where idv3 tags go to die). Files in my file system ext4 are ok . Files in my NTFS partitions are also ok (in all languages) I have checked !
