This bug was fixed in the package gnome-software - 3.22.7-0ubuntu2
---------------
gnome-software (3.22.7-0ubuntu2) zesty; urgency=medium
* Explicitly disable packagekit. The packagekit dbus service that
was being installed broke sessioninstaller's ability to install
codecs. Thanks seb128 for identifying the root cause. (LP: #1661371)

Bug description:
Test Case
---------
You can duplicate this with the daily build. If you install, don't select the
option to install additional codecs.
If you've already installed the additional codecs, you can remove them
with
sudo apt purge ubuntu-restricted-addons gstreamer1.0-fluendo-mp3 \
gstreamer1.0-libav gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly;
sudo apt autoremove
Here's a CC-BY-ND .mp3 you can download:
http://music.esgi.co.uk/track/echoes-in-time
Use totem (or rhythmbox) to try to open the file.
Original Bug Report
--------------------
Attempting to play a mp3 file with Rhythmbox on the latest Zesty daily build
Rhythmbox opens but no playback start.
On the terminal I got this:
Rhythmbox-Message: Missing plugin: gstreamer|1.0|rhythmbox-metadata|MPEG-1
Layer 3 (MP3) decoder|decoder-audio/mpeg, mpegversion=(int)1,
mpegaudioversion=(int)1, layer=(int)3
/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/sessioninstaller/core.py:47: PyGIWarning: Gst
was imported without specifying a version first. Use gi.require_version('Gst',
'1.0') before import to ensure that the right version gets loaded.
from gi.repository import Gst
/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/sessioninstaller/core.py:48: PyGIWarning: Gtk
was imported without specifying a version first. Use gi.require_version('Gtk',
'3.0') before import to ensure that the right version gets loaded.
from gi.repository import Gtk
Falling back to package information
Rhythmbox-Message: Missing plugins installed. Updating plugin registry ...
But the wizard to install the missing codec actually fails to launch.
