GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 634798
[gapless] Play queue malfunction with gapless playback
Last modified: 2020-03-17 09:31:12 UTC
Steps to reproduce: 1. Enqueue two songs into the play queue 2. Start playback 3. Let the first song finish and move on to the last song into the queue 4. With gapless playback enabled, at this point, the last song will start playing and the play queue will become empty. Expected behaviour (which happens when gapless is disabled): At #4, the last song should become active and the play queue should not become empty until the last song finishes playback.

related to/same as bug #631163 ?
Chow, I think I've found issues like this with gapless, but I can only reproduce them with OGG files. Were you testing with OGG files?
Not sure, but quite possible -- I've got quite a number of OGG songs in my collection. (Also this bug is 4 years old.)
I know it's four years old but I've just been hitting it and want to fix it :) So if you could confirm comment#4, that would be great :)
Can't seem to reproduce the bug with 2xOGG and 2xFLAC. Running Banshee 2.7.0.
You sure you have gapless enabled? If you can't reproduce it either with MP3, then I'll close this and pester a different bug reporter :) (I know the behaviour I just found must be already reported somewhere!)
Aha, just reproduced it with 2 FLACs. You have to set "Number of played songs to show" to 0 in Play Queue preferences.
And can you confirm that the bug is not reproducible with two MP3?
Happens with 2 MP3s as well.
Shit :( Ok then it's not the same bug I've seen with gapless. Sorry for the noise.
Are you able to reproduce it anyway?
Yes. But unfortunately I cannot dedicate time to fix it now. I want the GStreamerSharp release done, and maybe when we want to remove the Gapless feature (as in, it will be enabled by default, and no possibility to disable it), I'll need to fix it. Maybe for 2.9.2?
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 Its codebase has been archived.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.
