[Bug 995246] Re: Rhythmbox plugin installer can't find plugin required to play mp3

[Dave Lentz]

Sorry, I guess it is sessioninstaller being used for this now.
Anyway, I was not able to reproduce the error. I uninstalled the mp3 plugin(s), and I got the the same dialog, but it was able to find/install the appropriate plugin. 
Would it be possible for you to start rhythmbox from the terminal and attempt to play mp3? Please attach the terminal output.

Also, if you just want to work around the error, you can manually
install restricted format support:

** Package changed: gnome-codec-install (Ubuntu) => sessioninstaller
(Ubuntu)

** Changed in: sessioninstaller (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Incomplete
