i18n breaks Smart Playlists
Last modified: 2009-06-04 14:06:44 UTC
The Smart Playlists engine doesn't work properly when I run Banshee in my Spanish desktop (with es_ES locale). Steps to reproduce: 1. Start banshee using other locale than English (I use Spanish). 2. Select Media -> New Smart Playlist (in Spanish: Multimedia -> Nueva lista de reproducción inteligente). 3. Click on "Predefined Smart Playlists" (in Spanish: "Listas de reproducción inteligentes predefinidas"). 4. Click on "Recent Favorites - Songs listened to often in the past week" (in Spanish: "Favoritos recientes - Canciones escuchadas a menudo en la última semana"). 5. Click on "Open in editor" (in Spanish: "Abrir con editor"). Results: - When you run Banshee in English, you get the (right) following options in the playlist editor: "Last Played" - "less than" - "1,0" - "weeks" ago "Play Count" - "more than" - "3" However, when you run Banshee in Spanish, you get the following (wrong) options: "<blank>" - "contiene" - "played<1 week ago" "Número de reproducciones" - "más que" - "3" The first option is wrong, so the generated playlist is useless. There's obviously an insane interaction between i18n and Smart Playlists.
Due to the same issue, the "Recently added" smart playlist doesn't work when using Spanish language. To reproduce: in the left pane, right-click on "Recently added" playlist under "Music Library" and select "Edit Smart Playlist". (In Spanish: right-click on "Añadidos recientemente" under "Fonoteca" and select "Editar lista de reproducción inteligente"). Results: - When you run Banshee in English, you get the (right) following options in the playlist editor: "Date Added" - "less than" - "1.0" - "weeks" ago - However, when you run Banshee in Spanish, you get the following (wrong) option: "<blank>" - "contiene" - "added<1 week ago" which doesn't work.
Can you test in 1.5.0 or git master? I think this may have been fixed.
Thanks for the fast reply! I'll try it, although I can't find any Debian/Ubuntu precompiled package for 1.5.0 version, and I honestly am very rookie in the compilation world. I've found the following: https://launchpad.net/~banshee-team/+archive/banshee-daily/+files/banshee_1.5.0~git20090601.r1.e005149-0ubuntu1_i386.deb but it works only for Ubuntu Karmic, and I'm a Jaunty user. I'll see further.
Good news! I can't reproduce the issue in 1.5.0. For me it's fixed by now. Thanks a lot!
