GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 536655
Does not reload the playlist after a long pause
Last modified: 2009-06-10 19:14:33 UTC
Add the ability to reload the play list manually. Or reload the play list if no song is readable. Other information: To reproduct the bug, lauch banshee, connect to a lastfm group like banshee group (excellent playlist), put the stream in pause and 30 min later start reading back. You need to restart banshee to make it work.
Other last.fm stations fail too after a really long pause. They load tracks, but the tracks cannot be played.
This problem still occurs in Banshee 1.0.

I see the same issue. I stopped playing from my own recommendations and played two songs from the Banshee Group. I went back and none of my recommendations work anymore. This is a recurring problem for me, and I have to restart Banshee to get last.fm working again. I'm using Banshee 1.2.1.

I can confirm this bug on debian, using the 1.2.1 official package. Please fix this bug. A button that allow to clear the playlist and reload the station playlist would be sufficient and not too difficult to develop (by someone who knows banshee code well).. Thanks, Emilio

Created attachment 125501 [details] [review] Patch to add Refresh to the station right click menu
Comment on attachment 125501 [details] [review] Patch to add Refresh to the station right click menu I created this patch to add a Refresh option to the last.fm stations in case they go stale. It's very simple and just takes the new stuff onto the end just like when you listen for a while and you get a new batch of songs to appear. Same function I suppose. I figured some people would be interested in this since it is very annoying.
Thanks for the patch ! A few comments : 1. The line in StationSource.cs is probably unnecessary : the label that gets displayed is just "Refresh". 2. You can add the RefreshSourceAction in the same call to the Add method as the other 2 actions. 3. I think the "refresh" icon would be appropriate. Just add Stock.Refresh as the 2nd parameter. Ideally, banshee would refresh automatically when needed, but that's a first step.

Created attachment 129833 [details] [review] Updated to comment #10 Also made formatting of LastfmActions.ctor a bit more uniform.
Patch committed, thanks ! I'm leaving this open, because, as I mentionned, the reload should somehow happen automatically.
Closing, good enough.
I'm sorry, what's good enough? I've been running git master for the last two weeks, playing solely Last.fm stations in Banshee and get struck with this bug a few times a day. Am I experiencing something that is possibly unrelated or is this still an issue? I was under the impression it was, so I hadn't filed a bug yet.
Andrew, The patch that was committed adds a "Refresh" item in the right click menu of Last.fm stations. So you should be able to manually refresh a station when its tracks have gone "stale".
Aha, very nice. I'll test it out and report any feedback.
