GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 612658
Won't play Internet radio if launched via D-Bus activation
Last modified: 2010-03-30 20:03:33 UTC
Banshee won't play Internet radio streams if it's launched via D-Bus activation. It does play them if it's launched via the GNOME menu or from the command line. Steps to reproduce: 1. Shut down Banshee. 2. Run the command: dbus-send --print-reply --session --dest=org.freedesktop.DBus /org/freedesktop/DBus org.freedesktop.DBus.StartServiceByName string:"org.bansheeproject.Banshee" uint32:0 3. Select a radio stream 4. Press the Play button Expected behavior: Banshee starts playing the stream. Actual behavior: Nothing. There is no indication that Banshee even attempts to connect to the server; the status never changes from "Idle". I've verified this with Banshee 1.5.1 and 1.5.5, both on Ubuntu Karmic.

I think this might be another symptom of bug #486543 : When the current directory is /, Banshee fails to parse playlists.
