[Rhythmbox-devel] "couldn't pause playback"

[Douglas Furlong <dfurlong dark-hill co uk>]

Hello All.

I am new to this mailing list so please forgive me if I do some thing
stupid. I have tried searching the list for any thing that may help me,
however all I receive is an error messages which isn't too helpful : )

"Not Found
The requested URL /mailman/search was not found on this server.

I am trying to play some music using Rhythmbox that is mounted from and
NFS share.

The permissions on the share are such that my group has read/write
access to them, however the user does not (it's set to root).

When I try to play a file (ogg vorbis) I receive a pop up saying
"couldn't pause playback", I ran "rhythmbox -b" from a shell and below
is the output that I received.

I have tried playing the same music from a local directory and receive
exactly the same error message.

I have tried playing the ogg files using xmms and the music plays with
out any problems.

Does any one have any idea what may be causing this?

Thanks in advance.
