GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 700068
Banshee jumps to middle of song
Last modified: 2016-02-07 13:07:54 UTC
Created attachment 243770 [details] Banshee log, according to instructions Banshee works normally for one and sometimes a few songs. When the next song starts, Banshee jumps to the middle of the song instead of to the beginning. This happens both when the first song ends by itself and when I skip forward to the next song. This bug appeared after I upgraded to the latest version of Ubuntu (13.04). Thanks in advance.
FYI, I have also reported this bug, which is older: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=700230
Thanks for taking the time to report this bug. We are not sure yet but it might be possible that this bug is caused by a modification that Ubuntu includes in its version of Banshee, which is different than the official version of Banshee. To be able to determine if this is the cause, could you help us? You would need to compile banshee yourself following these instructions: http://banshee.fm/contribute/write-code/ If you manage to run banshee from your compiled version (via "make run"), can you report if the bug is present in this version? Thanks very much.
Thank you for your quick response and nice tone. Unfortunately, my hacking skills are very low. The instructions were a bit too complicated for me. There is no header "compile" and the only instance of "make run" contains these instructions: "Building is straight forward and familiar if you've ever built software on Linux before. We use the standard autotools suite for our build environment. Once you have satisfied all the build dependencies, you're ready to build: " 1) I have never built software anywhere (discounting DOS programmes 20 years ago), 2) I do not understand the rest. What is "build dependencies"? Sorry for not being able to help more. Again, thanks!
(In reply to comment #2) I will try reproducing this error, installed Ubuntu 13.04 yesterday, still have not faced this issue yet. Built the development version of Banshee.
Dan just told me on IRC that this is happening for him as well in MINT 15, so I'm adding him to CC. Adding also Chow (packaging expert), hey do you mind answering this: - Do you know if the package for banshee in MINT15 would contain the GST1.0 downstream patch that Ubuntu 13.04 has? - Can you reproduce this problem? If yes, do you mind testing if reverting the GST1.0 patch makes this bug go away? Thankshttps://bugzilla.gnome.org/page.cgi?id=describeuser.html&
(Oops sorrry, last sentence of previous comment had a mispasted URL...) Hey Rashid, (In reply to comment #4) > (In reply to comment #2) > I will try reproducing this error, installed Ubuntu 13.04 yesterday, still have > not faced this issue yet. Built the development version of Banshee. I have the impression that this bug is caused by a downstream patch (to fix bug 679433) so it's very likely you won't reproduce the problem with the development version of banshee. Can you try installing the 2.6.1 package of banshee in Ubuntu 13.04 (personally I have 64bits) and report if you experience it?

I can't tell you for sure, but if they imported the Debian package directly from Debian Experimental without changes, then they probably would have the patch. > - Can you reproduce this problem?
