GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 638788
[LibraryWatcher] Duplicated tracks when importing from iPod and LibraryWatcher enabled
Last modified: 2020-03-17 08:56:46 UTC
When I import music into my library I get duplicates for almost all of the tracks - but occasionally one or two will import correctly. I use almost entirely aac and alac audio synced from my ipod touch. Simply importing any media will produce this duplication for me. I've had this bug my entire time using banshee - first with 1.9.0 and still with git master built yesterday. I am using ubuntu 11.04 64-bit on a brand-new atom netbook.
If it means anything the majority of the library was imported from an ipod touch. Also, The song and gb counts are both counting the duplicates. My actual library is 2.8 gb, but banshee says it's 5.4.
Thanks for reporting this. Do you have the Library Watcher extension turned on in Edit > Preferences > Extensions? If so, does Banshee still import the songs twice after you've turned the extension off? It's possible that Bug 614171 isn't limited to importing from CDs.
Your right, the library watcher extension was causing the songs to have two entries in the library. When it was turned off, importing from the ipod worked correctly. Interestingly, if I import a song that's already in my music folder but not in my library, the entry is not duplicated.
travis, do you get the behaviour only when importing from iPod or also from any other source?
No, a regular "import media" does not cause this issue for me.
Ok thanks.
Duplicate of #614171?
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 Its codebase has been archived.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.
