Last modified: 2008-05-06 15:22:30 UTC
Please describe the problem: When plugging in a device with the .is_audio_player file present, Banshee throws up an exception to do with HAL: [Warn 20:57:24.722] Caught an exception - Object reference not set to an instance of an object (in `Banshee.Dap.MassStorage') at Banshee.Dap.MassStorage.MassStorageSource.get_MediaCapabilities () [0x00000] in /var/abs/local/yaourtbuild/banshee-1-svn/src/banshee/src/Dap/Banshee.Dap.MassStorage/Banshee.Dap.MassStorage/MassStorageSource.cs:103 at Banshee.Dap.DapSource.Initialize () [0x0010a] in /var/abs/local/yaourtbuild/banshee-1-svn/src/banshee/src/Dap/Banshee.Dap/Banshee.Dap/DapSource.cs:114 at Banshee.Dap.MassStorage.MassStorageSource.DeviceInitialize (IDevice device) [0x00057] in /var/abs/local/yaourtbuild/banshee-1-svn/src/banshee/src/Dap/Banshee.Dap.MassStorage/Banshee.Dap.MassStorage/MassStorageSource.cs:69 at Banshee.Dap.DapService.FindDeviceSource (IDevice device) [0x00025] in /var/abs/local/yaourtbuild/banshee-1-svn/src/banshee/src/Dap/Banshee.Dap/Banshee.Dap/DapService.cs:127 Steps to reproduce: 1. Start Banshee 2. Plug in phone, and select file transfer mode. 3. Memory stick shows up on desktop. 4. No response in Banshee's window, but exception shown in command line output. Actual results: Banshee throws up a HAL exception Expected results: Banshee displays the Mtp device and allows me to add/remove files from it. Does this happen every time? Yes Other information: Distro: ArchLinux Bug doesn't happen with Banshee 0.98.3. Disabling and re-enabling the mtp plugin results in the exception being thrown again.
MTP != Mass Storage. Are you confusing the two?
Yes I am. Whoops.
This problem has been fixed in the development version. The fix will be available in the next major software release. Thank you for your bug report.
