Created attachment 180993 [details] Banshee log after a crash OS: Ubuntu 10.10 Version: Banshee 1.9.3 from the Daily PPA. Summary Sometimes, while Banshee is playing music in the background, it crashes after a song has finished playing (and it should start the next song). When it crashes, I don't get any error dialog, Banshee just quits. Description I usually open Banshee in a separate workspace where I leave the main window open. I don't recall this crash happening while Banshee's main window was closed (and only the tray icon was visible). Steps to Reproduce 1) Open Banshee. 2) Play a playlist with many (1000+) songs. 3) Let Banshee play the music, and leave the main window open. 4) Continue working on your machine (in a different workspace). Actual Result Banshee sometimes crashes at the end of a song. It probably happens when it wants to play the next song; it never happens while a song is playing. Expected Result Play the next song (because it didn't reach the end of the playlist).
Thanks for the bug report and the log. It would also be helpful if you could provide a log with debugging turned on, following the instructions here: http://live.gnome.org/Banshee/CommonQuestions/Logs Hopefully that will give a little more information about what's happening at the time of the crash.

seem that libbanshee might be feeding us crap when requesting next track in gapless mode. Does this happen with gapless off?
Now that you mention it, I have a strong feeling it started happening after I enabled gapless playback. I enabled that feature a few months back, and that's when the crashes started happening (I think). I disabled gapless playback; I'll report back if the crash happens again with gapless turned off.
Gapless is default on, so this goes on the gapless metabug for investigation.

Comment on attachment 191864 [details] Debug output of crashed banshee session I'm not sure if this is really related, but this happened to be just now.
I was experiencing several crashes per day on a Fedora 16 box, but then I disabled gapless playback and haven't had any crashes since.
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 Its codebase has been archived.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.
