Rhythmbox 2.90.1: multiple library locations

view story
linux-howto

https://bbs.archlinux.org – I'm having real trouble setting multiple library locations in Rhythmbox on Arch.  I had this working on Ubuntu with an older version of Rhythmbox by following the steps in the following webpage:https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Rhyth … irectoriesAs far as I can tell the use of gconf-editor has been depricated in the latest version of Rhythmbox as found on Arch, in favour of dconf-editor.  In addition the location of the key has moved to:org.gnome.rhythmbox.rhythmdb/locationsThe problem is that I can't seem to figure out what the format of the list should be in dconf-edito (HowTos)

Stories similar to Rhythmbox 2.90.1: multiple library locations

I want to change the music files directory which appears as "Multiple Locations Set" on my Rhythmbox to a set of directories of my choice. But using the UI it only lets me select one. I read using gconf-editor under /apps/rhythmbox I could achieve this, but there's no rythmbox under my /apps on gconf-editor. Has this changed? If not, how can I get it in there?

Best regards

After a fresh installed Ubuntu, one thing to do is configuring your music player. In Ubuntu 12.04 Precise LTS, if you use other music player to instead the default Rhythmbox, here’s a way to remove Rhythmbox controls from the sound indicator.

Right then. I've been messing around with my filesystem a bit and I need to purge Rhythmbox's Library Location settings to do this. Unfortunately for me it appears that my computer is pulling these settings right out of its *** with no place to store them. I've tried both dconf and gconf neither of which have the settings that are supposed to be there.

A few questions guys, would really be glad if you could help.

How do I know what the latest version of Rhythmbox is (is there a rhythmbox official repository?)? And say I dont have the latest version of Ubuntu (I'm using 10.04, personally my favourite ubuntu release yet, especially since i'm not a big fan of unity), can I upgrade Rhythmbox to the leatest version? If so how?

Thanks in advance.

I stopped using rhythmbox years ago because I thought banshee was better, now I would say as far as the 2 players go rhythmbox seems to be much less buggy, (no this isn't a which player is better thread so lets not go there) anyway I use bash scripts to control banshee after login, to get it to start in the background and play music automatically, I want to switch to rhythmbox but can't seem to fi

Rhythmbox Equalizer 46 weeks 1 day ago

Hello,

I was having an issue with the pulseaudio-equalizer an rhythmbox, sound gets really crackly but so far only with rhythmbox, youtube sounds just fine. I tried installing the rhythmbox equalizer thinking I can just use this for now as a work around, I don't mind the extra few clicks to disable one equalizer for a short time then enable it later.

Rhythmbox, an integrated music management application, originally inspired by Apple's iTunes and designed to work well under the GNOME desktop environment, is now at version 2.98.

Rhythmbox 2.98 brings us a little closer to the 3.x branch, but the suspense continues as the developers release another update in the 2.x branch.

I usually create playlists on rhythmbox based on the year of the song (I have a library over 20000 songs). I recently installed Ubuntu 13.04, but Rhythmbox 2.98 reads all mp3 tags except year (shows "unknown"). I've already removed all tracks from the library so rhythmbox would rebuild it again, but it still fails to read the "year" tag.

Is Rhythmbox supposed to automatically refresh the music library? I don't see any sort of manual "refresh" option, but files that I've added since originally importing the directory never appear.

I run OpenBox instead of GNOME, so maybe there's a GNOME service used by RhythmBox that I don't have running?
