GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 675515
Filesystem Queue should behave more like the standard Play Queue
Last modified: 2020-03-17 09:19:38 UTC
Currently, the filesystem queue behaves sort of like a cross between the standard play queue and a normal playlist. However, this leads to some inconsistencies: - When you are currently listening to a song in Banshee, and open an external file, the song does not resume after the external file finishes (https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=674686) - Older songs stick around in the filesystem queue after finishing, and unless manually cleared, have the potential to end up automatically being played again, which is undesirable (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/banshee/+bug/995009) Therefore, I propose that the filesystem queue should behave like the play queue, but for external items:- - A configurable number of played items should be grayed out and not re-queued for playing again unless manually dragged downwards by the user. - If the filesystem queue was activated while Banshee was not playing anything, it should stop after the last song. - Otherwise, it should resume playback in the original playback source upon completion.
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 Its codebase has been archived.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.
