Description stevens.adrian 2012-02-26 14:35:29 UTC 
When songs in the 'Recently Played' playlist are sorted by 'Last Played', only the two most recently played songs are played. This appears to be caused by the fact that as the currently playing song finishes playing, it is moved to the top of the list (i.e. the most recently played song) before playback proceeds to the next track. This means that the previously played track is always next in the list and the player therefore continuously loops through the two most recently played songs.

Thank you for your bug report.

I was able to reproduce the problem with the latest git master : with the situation you described the smart playlist is updated before we choose the next track, so it's always going to be the track that was played before.

Here's a patch from the duplicate, which apparently fixes the issues, but it's not really a correct fix.

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 Its codebase has been archived.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.
