GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 665100
bpm detection goes on endlessly if the music folder contains a non-audio file
Last modified: 2020-03-17 09:29:10 UTC
Originally reported at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/875554 If the music folder contains any text file containing lyrics, html file or any other file gstreamer doesn't know how to decode the bpm detection will stop at this file leaving the throbber running and leaving half of the music library without bpm information. The only hint the user gets about that problem is the console message that gstreamer has not been able to decode a file - and the fact that the throbber in the lower left edge of the screen is turning endlessly always indicating that the bpm detection is in progress.

https://bugs.launchpad.net/banshee/+bug/875554/+attachment/2611369/+files/kingcrimsonframebyframe.wav is a file where BPM detection hangs, thought apparently BPM detection stalls if it encounters a non-audio file anyway, so perhaps Banshee needs to detect situations like this and skip over files it can't parse.
Banshee is not under active development anymore and had its last code changes more than three years ago. Its codebase has been archived. Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping to reflect reality. Please feel free to reopen this ticket (or rather transfer the project to GNOME Gitlab, as GNOME Bugzilla is being shut down) if anyone takes the responsibility for active development again. See https://gitlab.gnome.org/Infrastructure/Infrastructure/issues/264 for more info.
