Rhythmbox on Ubuntu 16.04 works only with sudo

When I try to run rhythmbox as a user it shows:
jakub@XenialHP:~$ rhythmbox
Rhythmbox:ERROR:rb-ext-db.c:362:impl_constructor: code should not be reached
Aborted (core dump)
(the last line of the transcript is my translation into English, maybe not the exact message)
When I try to run it as a root, rhythmbox works well. Reinstalling and purging does not help.
What might be wrong?

I asked on GNOME bugzilla and get proper answer:
Jonathan Matthew [rhythmbox developer]:
You apparently don't have permission to create ~/.cache/rhythmbox and you should fix that. Rhythmbox could probably report the error better, but this has been the error handling mechanism for five years and no one has noticed before.
I used chown /home/jakub/ -R to fix it, and now rhythmbox works well.
