GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 605358
GUI Freeze when starting to play next file
Last modified: 2009-12-24 12:58:54 UTC
Created attachment 150338 [details] Log file from running banshee-1 --debug As of version 1.5.2 the GUI of banshee always freezes for 10-20 seconds when a new file starts to play. During the freeze the banshee window becomes unresponsive and my CPU spikes to 100%, however the song always starts to play, even while the GUI is frozen. Also when i switch a playlist or select another album in a playlist i see the same behavior. A few weeks ago i tried * ..to disable all the plugins and also disabled writing metadata to files, but this didn't help. * ..to VACUUM my banshee.db with the sqlite3 commandline tool. This didn't help either. * ..to create a entirely new banshee.db and added all my music (5700+ songs). The new database was only 5+ MB while my old one was 13+ MB. With the new database Banshee i didn't have the problem. Then i started again with my old database and removed all my custom playlists (20+). As of then the problem disappeared with my old database as well. However a week ago i started seeing the problem ago. I'm still using my old banshee.db but with only 4 playlists (favorites, recent favorites, recently added, unheard). Again i tried to create a new database but now also the new database had the freezing problem... I'm currently using version 1.5.3 from the banshee-daily ppa on Ubuntu Karmic. I have attached a log file from running banshee-1 --debug, while i was playing some songs.
This looks quite a bit like Bug 581103. Running Banshee from a terminal with the --debug-sql option - or testing the patch in Bug 581103 - could probably confirm that the two issues are the same. I'm closing this as a duplicate, but feel free to reopen it if your issue is different. Thanks for the bug report. This particular bug has already been reported into our bug tracking system, but please feel free to report any further bugs you find. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 581103 ***
