Thanks for the report, Could you please clarify a bit more ? "don't know" summaries doesn't help at all if you want your bug to be fixed or triaged you need to provide a more detailed report otherwise it's going to be closed. You may find it helpful to read "How to report bugs effectively" http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html. And provide a rhythmbox debug log with : rhythmbox --debug &> rhythmbox-debug.txt, thanks.

I wish I could tell you more but I've only been using linux/ubuntu for about 3 hours of actual computer time. I just got that error message and right now I'm not sure what it is not doing or what I'm missing by getting this error. Once I figure out what is that the system is supposed to be doing and is not doing, I will update my entry with more information. I thought I should atlease report what I know.

Thanks,
Manish

Thank you for taking the time to report this issue and helping to make Ubuntu better. Examining the information you have given us, this does not appear to be a bug report so we are closing it and converting it to a question in the support tracker. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but it would make more sense to raise problems you are having in the support tracker at https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu if you are uncertain if they are bugs. For help on reporting bugs, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs.

Hi,
Sorry for bad English
I solve this problem by delete files in /home/username/Music/My Playlists

May be some playlist file was broken.
After that there is no more pop-up windows for missing plugins.

Thank you for trying to solve this problem for me but I already don't have a directory called "My Playlists" therefore there are no files in that directory.

Thanks
Manish
