Is there a plugin for Rhythmbox to exit on close?

Is there a way for me to get Rhythmbox to exit when I press the exit button? If not, is there a way to remove the exit button all together? I keep getting tripped up trying to close the music player.

I feel silly posting on something that has been raged about like this, but I can't find a way to change it. By now, I thought someone would have made a plugin for it.

Close-on-Hide External Plugin

Well, I took up the challenge and wrote an external plugin that does just this - clicking the close button (window "x" button) really does mean quit.

In the default way of working, Ubuntu has a specific patch to ensure that when music is playing, clicking the close button minimizes the application.

The reason for this is that some people like music to be playing, but they don't actually want to see the application visibly on the desktop. Control of rhythmbox then passes to the Sound Indicator.

However, for those that do not like this behaviour, you cannot by default quit the application via the close button when something is playing.

how to install for RB3.0 and later

sudo apt-get install git

cd ~/.local/share/rhythmbox/plugins

git clone https://github.com/fossfreedom/close-on-hide

Start rhythmbox and enable the "close-on-hide" plugin in the plugins menu (Tools - Plugins menu)

If you are using RB2.99 and earlier - edit the .plugin file in the close-on-hide folder and change the line Loader=python3 to read Loader=python
