Slow connection mode
Last modified: 2020-03-17 08:59:48 UTC
Bug first reported in lp: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/banshee/+bug/451629 "this is not a bug, but a whislist Listening to Last.fm on a slow internet conenection is annoying. I propose a "slow connection mode". this mode could be activated by the user (just clicking a convenient-icon). When banshee operated on this mode banshee store more Mb of the audio streaming before start the reproduction and (if last.fm allow this) instead of waiting for the current song to be fully-played banshee should begin to download (but not play) the next song; hence not wasting time during songs. I don´t know if this is a very complicated to implement feature and I don´t if it could make some difference when streaming using slow connection. what do you think?" User is effectively asking for a mode, when activated, the content is cached before being played, might not necessarily relate to Lastfm alone.
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 Its codebase has been archived.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.
