I think this bug is caused by a race condition... I can confirm the behavior described by the bug submitter. When things are done in the order the bug submitter describes (see test cases above), there are two processes:
elparis 31327 0.0 0.0 17092 2296 ? Sl 18:21 0:00 rhythmbox-client --play-uri file:///home/elparis/Music/14%20Iron%20Maiden.mp3 elparis 31330 33.5 1.0 273840 40760 ? Sl 18:21 0:01 /usr/bin/rhythmbox However, Rhythmbox is just sitting there doing nothing. But, if Rhythmbox is started before using the Music lens, then things work properly. My guess is that rhythmbox-client runs before rhythmbox is ready so rhythmbox never receives the command to play the song. I don't know who starts rhythmbox, rhythmbox-client or the Music lens, though. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1201016 Title: Rhythmbox does not start playing tracks when they are selected from music lens To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity-lens-music/+bug/1201016/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
