lyrics plugin no longer works
Last modified: 2020-03-17 10:00:20 UTC
I am suffering the same problem others are seeing in other distributions like Fedora: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=845816 Lyrics extension for Banshee doesn't work. It always shows "Could not load type 'System.Func`2' from assembly 'mscorlib, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089'.". $ banshee [Info 16:35:27.909] Running Banshee 2.4.1: [Fedora17-2.4.1-1.fc17 (linux-gnu, x86_64) @ 2012-06-03 13:29:34 UTC] [Info 16:35:29.647] Updating web proxy from GConf [Info 16:35:29.703] All services are started 1.48865 [Info 16:35:31.135] nereid Client Started [Info 16:35:31.363] GStreamer version 0.10.36.0, gapless: True, replaygain: False Missing method .ctor in assembly /usr/lib64/banshee/Extensions/Banshee.Lyrics.dll, type Typespec 0x1b000002 Missing method .ctor in assembly /usr/lib64/banshee/Extensions/Banshee.Lyrics.dll, type Typespec 0x1b000002
I'm suffering the same problem in 2 different machines with 64bits Archlinux and banshee 2.6.0-2 from arch's repo, and banshee lyrics extension 2.4.0 compiled from sources. The error message in banshee is Could not load type 'System.Func`2' from assembly 'mscorlib, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089'. and in console I can see Missing method .ctor in assembly /usr/lib/banshee/Extensions/Banshee.Lyrics.dll, type Typespec 0x1b000002 I've noticed that when enabling lyrics extension the cover art is not visible, not sure if both bugs are related. Wish this information helps.
Same here, Fedora 18: $ rpm -q banshee banshee-2.6.0-1.fc18.i686 [Warn 12:15:08.653] Caught an exception - System.TypeLoadException: Could not load type 'System.Func`2' from assembly 'mscorlib, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089'. (in `Banshee.Lyrics') at Banshee.Lyrics.LyricsDownloadJob.DownloadLyrics (Banshee.Collection.Database.DatabaseTrackInfo track) [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0
The bug is still present in banshee 2.6.1 (64 bits archlinux)
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 Its codebase has been archived.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.
