Rhythmbox crashes instead of starting up

Description
Hi,
I'm running Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Beta), Gnome-Shell is I believe 3.26.3.
The bundled rhythmbox crashes very frequently. After playing around with it for a couple of minutes (automatic filing some crash reports) it now has been caught in an absolute blocker to use it:
$ rhythmbox
(rhythmbox:5216): Gtk-WARNING **: 21:08:57.161: actionhelper: action app.play-repeat can't be activated due to parameter type mismatch (parameter type NULL, target type b)
(rhythmbox:5216): Gtk-WARNING **: 21:08:57.162: actionhelper: action app.play-shuffle can't be activated due to parameter type mismatch (parameter type NULL, target type b)
(rhythmbox:5216): Gtk-CRITICAL **: 21:08:57.404: gtk_tree_view_update_button_position: assertion 'column_el != NULL' failed zsh: segmentation fault (core dumped) rhythmbox
Rhythmbox opens up its GUI for maybe half a second, and closes it again. This is reproducible on every restart.
Version: 3.4.x
