Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-app-install

After starting rhythmbox, it loads my music collection and finds that it does not have the necessary plugin to play some files. It then tries to download a suitable plugin. So far so good.

The suitable plugin is however not found and after clicking 'cancel' the same window pops up again when rhythmbox stumbles upon the next file it cannot play. And again, and again..

I think some mechanism should be included to prevent this dialog from opening up more then once for a given type of music files ("audio/x-wma" in this case).

I'm using jaunty. With gnome-app-install: 0.5.24-0ubuntu1

I'm not sure this really is a duplicate. Bug 343707 is about showing
this message for non-music files. My bugreport is about actual music
files for which a codec cannot be found.
