Description Andrew Conkling 2008-08-15 12:15:27 UTC 
When inserting external media (an Audio CD, an unrecognized iPod), the File System Queue is presented. This does not happen for me (with my media player, a Cowon iAudio X5).

This may be related to bug 521628, in which it is discussed that a new instance is spawned when media is inserted.
Comment 1 Bertrand Lorentz 2008-08-15 15:01:48 UTC 
I guess that what is happening here is that banshee is started with the command line given in the banshee-1.desktop file :
banshee-1 --redirect-log --play-enqueued %U

%U represents a list of URLs or file paths.
Banshee automatically puts anything that looks like a file in the parameter into the File System Queue.
This works fine for instance when you right click on an mp3 file to play it with banshee.
But when an external media is inserted and the command is then executed automatically with the path to the media (/media/mp3_player), banshee adds everything on the media to the FSQ.

I don't really know if/how this could be improved.
Comment 2 Andrew Conkling 2008-08-15 15:34:35 UTC 
Maybe Banshee could pay attention to the URI and go to a different location depending on the media? I think it would be fairly straightforward to distinguish files from CDs or devices, but I could be wrong.
Comment 3 Wouter Bolsterlee (uws) 2009-01-16 23:10:21 UTC 
I'm not exactly sure what the problem is here: external devices should show up as alternative play sources, right?
Comment 4 Gabriel Burt 2009-01-17 20:42:44 UTC 
I think Aaron has fixed this with his recent .desktop file work - Andrew, can you confirm?
Comment 5 Bertrand Lorentz 2009-01-21 21:08:06 UTC 
I can confirm that this is fixed in 1.4.2 : when I connect my DAP, the DAP source is now activated, with the sync options and the usage bar.
Nothing happens with the file system queue anymore.

Feel free to re-open this if you still experience the problem.
