banshee log

I removed all songs from the library, and tried to reimport all my songs.
Banshee quits when using "Import media"
See log (2).

log (2) - import media

This seems to be a more general issue. Banshee even crashes when I try to open the settings. Could this be some translation problem? See log (3).

By the way, I'm using the german localized build 1.3.3

And up to 1.3.2 everything went fine.

Do you have a "Banshee.Core.dll.config" file in your banshee installation ?
It should be in /usr/lib/banshee-1/

I can't reproduce this, but here's what I found :
The code contains several "[DllImport ("libglib-2.0.dll")]", but the Banshee.Core.dll.config file contains the following :

<dllmap dll="libglib-2.0-0.dll" target="libglib-2.0.so.0" os="linux"/>

Notice the extra "-0" in the dll name. Could you try to remove it and see if it fixes the problem ?

Removing the trailing -0 mentioned in the above comment seems to have fixed the issues I have been having with 1.3.3. Thanks.

I can confirm this fix, too. Thanks.

Fix DllImports and dllmaps

Here's a proper patch to fix this.
I tried to be exhaustive and use the windows DLL filename in the DllImport statements and corresponding dllmap elements.

Hi 

I was having the same issue on my machine and I can play music after changing the config file, but I cannot import music. I get a dll not found exception and the result is that I cannot import music. I can reproduce this in another computer I have, but it doesn't happen at work.

Editing the .config was just a dirty workaround and a way to check that I was on the right track.
Of course, the proper fix would be to apply the patch.

Looks good Bertrand, please commit.

This problem has been fixed in our software repository. The fix will go into the next software release. Thank you for your bug report.

After this patch was applied to the (unstable) Ubuntu package which I'm using on a Debian system, I see this on startup:

[Info  21:06:14.950] Running Banshee 1.3.3

Looking into banshee_1.3.3-2~intrepid1_i386.deb, it seems that the patch was not applied.
I'm keeping this open until this is confirmed by our packagers.

The 3 latest changelog messages seem to suggest otherwise:

The unstable Ubuntu packages have been updated.
Could you confirm that the problem is now fixed ?

Confirming the warning I reported in comment 24 does not show up anymore. Marking FIXED. Thanks.
