Ubuntu 14.04 32bit also is affected by the bug. I use Rhythmbox 3.0.2 and about 1/3 of my music library is shown as length "unknown". When I look into the rhytmdb.xml the titles with unknown length don't have a <duration>-tag.
I removed the rhythmdb.xml and started rhythmbox from scratch with a music library with 11 mp3-titles. Initially 3 of them showed an unknown length. Then I manually removed all three <entry type="song">-entries which had no <duration>-tag from the database. Afterwards I restarted rhythmbox, the three titles where readded by rhythmbox and suddenly had the correct length. For me it looks like a bug in rhythmbox which sometimes does not write the duration-tag to its database. -- 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/334082 Title: Most mp3 files listed with "Unknown" length Status in “rhythmbox” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: TESTCASE: 1) Add files from comments #4 and #21 in the collection 2) Search for these files (search terms: "Greensleeves" and "Beowulf") 3) Check track length Result: track length is 'Undefined' Expected Result: track lengths are 0:49 and 0:56 --- Original Report --- Binary package hint: rhythmbox After scanning my music folder with rhythmbox, about half of the mp3 tracks in the library are listed as having a length and bitrate of "Unknown". The files play without any problem, but while they are playing, the slider does not move. I've played and indexed these same files in Songbird, WinAmp, iTunes, VLC and WMP, none of which had any related issues, so this is more likely to be a rhythmbox bug than file corruption. 1.) OS release: Ubuntu 8.10 2.) rhythmbox version: 0.11.6svn20081008-0ubuntu4.3 3.) Playable, uncorrupted MP3 files should be displayed with their correct length 4.) A large portion (about half) of MP3 files do not have a length listed. If needed, I can provide a small, self-made MP3 file that exhibits this problem.
