[ubuntu-mono] [Bug 1022297] Re: Renaming or deleting a file from the playlist confuses Banshee

[Andy Smith]

Hi,

I've now installed 2.4.1-3ubuntu1~precise1 from precise-proposed and can
confirm it behaves exactly the same way.

Note that if "Rescan Music Library" is selected from the "Tools" menu
then Banshee does notice that tracks in the play queue have gone away
and removes them correctly. It just doesn't cope with this when it
encounters a missing file by itself.

Title:
  Renaming or deleting a file from the playlist confuses Banshee

Status in “banshee” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  If you have an item in a playlist and you rename or delete the
  corresponding file from the filesystem, Banshee stops cycling through
  the playlist when it reaches the item whose file no longer exists.
  However, if you then click on the *next* item in the playlist, Banshee
  puts the green "play" arrow next to the previous (now missing) item.
  It also reports the missing item's metadata to other services like
  last.fm. It does however play the correct item.

  An example:

  Say my playlist contains the following items:

  > The Beatles - Something
     The Beatles - Baby You're a Rich Man
     Metallica - Nothing Else Matters

  While "Something" is playing, I delete the file corresponding to "Baby
  You're a Rich Man". When Banshee reaches the end of "Something", it
  tries to play "Baby You're a Rich Man" and fails because the file no
  longer exists.

  I notice that playback has ceased and go to look at Banshee. I double
  click on "Nothing Else Matters" in order to carry on from there.
  Banshee now shows:

     The Beatles - Something
  > The Beatles - Baby You're a Rich Man
     Metallica - Nothing Else Matters

  but it is actually playing "Nothing Else Matters"! "Baby You're a Rich
  Man" is reported to last.fm also.
