This page explains information that should be included when filing bugs related to Rhythmbox. Problems involving Rhythmbox should be filed against rhythmbox.

[edit] Is it Gstreamer?

Note that Rhythmbox uses Gstreamer for decoding and encoding audio: if your problem is related to playback or encoding (transfer to a portable device), see if you can reproduce it in another Gstreamer-based application, such as Totem or Banshee. If you can, report the problem against gstreamer instead.

[edit] Debugging information

Rhythmbox can produce debugging output which may be helpful for tracking down behavior problems. Run rhythmbox -d from the command line and attempt to reproduce the problem. You can also turn on debugging for specific components, e.g. rhythmbox -d podcast.

[edit] Import errors

If you are experiencing problems importing a particular file into your Rhythmbox library, look at the Import Errors view (you can select it in the left pane). This will give details on the error.
