[Bug 1416951] [NEW] RhythmBox fails to load mp3 plugin

 

Public bug reported:

When trying to set the "preferred format" in the Music tab under
Rhythmbox Preferences, a dialog box pops up:

Required plugin could not be found

Rhythmbox requires to install plugins to create media files of the
following type: ID3 tag muxer.

I would expect that the plugin could be installed. I pointed rhythmbox
to my music folder, which contains a large number of mp3/4 copied over
from iTunes (mac).

I think this could be related to this bug:

I attached an edited debug file, which I generated with the command:
rhythmbox --debug &> rhythmbox-debug.txt
