During the conversion to Gtk3+, the Rhythmbox plugin system was
completely rewritten, and no older plugins will work any longer. They
will have to be updated - which isn't going to be a simple modification
for many of them.

Since the version of Rhythmbox shipped in Ubuntu right now is actually
an unstable development build and not a released version, many
third-party plugin authors haven't updated their plugins for it yet. I'd
expect them to start showing up soon, but I don't know of any current
list of compatible third-party plugins.
