GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 586652
Cover art fetching's source has small database
Last modified: 2020-03-17 08:17:01 UTC
Please describe the problem: As compared to say rhythmbox, banshee seems to fetch the cover art AND meta data of much fewer songs. So i suggest more sources for this information should be added. PS: Could you add sources where there is song information for songs other english language eg hindi songs. Steps to reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Does this happen every time? Other information:
(In reply to comment #0) > PS: Could you add sources where there is song information for songs other > english language eg hindi songs. I guess this is the main issue? It's a known bug, marking as a duplicate. Feel free to open another one if you have other issues. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 520516 ***
this big is not a dup of 520516. Here the problem is that which ever source site banshee is using as a database for fetching cover art and meta data is not adequate enough and even rythmbox has a more exhaustive database. And you have misinterpreted the PS part of the bug report. Here i say that if the song is a hindi song but the text is actually in english like for eg. hum tum. Then the source database has very few ( but still has some) entries for bollywood songs. And i dont know about the rest of the world but in india most people use this method of using ASCII but having hindi names.
A few examples would be helpful, e.g. the metadata in your files (album, artist, etc), link to MusicBrainz page if it exists, link to Last.fm page if it exists. Please do it for a few albums that don't have cover art in your Banshee library.
album name Dil chahta hai http://musicbrainz.org/show/release/?releaseid=431133 Artist Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy cover art picture shown on music brainz page. but not in banshee. Also to note that songs from this album have cover art in rhythmbox but not in banshee. So a.current bansheealbum art fetching has problems. b.More sources of such metadata,album art should be added eg amazon,wikipedia,etc
the title of the songs of the dil chahta hai album on my hard disk in music folder are of the type Dil Chahta Hai - Dil Chahta Hai ( Reprise ) 00 - Dil Chahta Hai - Dil Chahta Hai.mp3 00 - Dil Chahta Hai - Jaane Kyon.mp3 00 - Dil Chahta Hai - Kaisi Hai Yeh Rut.mp3 00 - Dil Chahta Hai - Koi Kahe Kehta Rahe.mp3 00 - Dil Chahta Hai - Tanhayee.mp3 00 - Dil Chahta Hai - Woh Ladki Hai Kahan.mp3 All songs have album name as Dil chahta hai
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.
