rhythmbox "Could not determine type of stream."

Description
What I expect:
- When I open rhythmbox - which worked fine a few months ago - I am able to pick songs out of my library and play them.
What happens instead:
- When I launch, Import Errors appears and immediately starts filling up, very quickly, with a list of all of my music. Next to each track, under "Error" is written "Could not determine type of stream."
This is a pretty vanilla debian 8 system. My files are all FLAC.
I tried : $ rm -rf ~/.cache/rhythmbox/ : $ rm -rf ~/.local/share/rhythmbox it didn't affect the behavior at all. In fact, strangely, rhythmbox still remembered the odd path where I store my music. I checked permissions carefully: I can always and easily play my music by cd'ing in from the shell and using mplayer, for example. I looked in gconf-editor for ways to further reset rhythmbox to factory but I found nothing there relating to the app.
I searched the internet, found this:
- https://askubuntu.com/questions/184181/rhythmbox-wont-import-or-play-flac-files That suggested I run this, so I did:
$ dpkg --get-selections | grep flac flac install libflac++6:amd64 install libflac-dev:amd64 install libflac8:amd64 install libflac8:i386 install
So, that's all I know.
