Ubuntu Multimedia :: Banshee: Unable To Find CD Info - Track/Artist
May 3, 2011
Banshee can't find any information about track or artist with a CD in the drive. She can play it and rip without error just no info... I have had a good look about the menu's and can not find any way of changing the site where it gets the info from.
My last.fm scrobbler is, for some reason, reversing my track titles and artist names. My music is all tagged appropriately. For example, if I play:
Artist: John Coltrane Title: Giant Steps
It will be scrobbled as:
Artist: Giant Steps Title: John Coltrane.
I'm running Arch and using QL's default plugin. This also occurs when I use the lastfmsubmitd daemon. I have tried defining different artist/track patterns within the plugin options with no luck, though I may be doing it wrong. I used <title> for <artist> for the pattern definitions.
EDIT:Audio scrobbling works in Exaile, so now I know for sure that my tagging is not at fault.
EDIT 2Well I found the solution. I updated qlscrobbler.py with the version found here:
I'm running Banshee 1.6.0 under OpenSUSE 11.2. I listen to a lot of podcasts, and whenever Banshee ends one show and switches to another, it resets the sound volume from the value it was set at during the previous podcast.
I couldn't locate anything in the Sound preferences, and Banshee doesn't seem to have anything specific about making the playback sound sync with the system volume.
its been kinda bugging me for awhile that i cant find a way to hide the list of artists in banshee. i just want to see the album grid. is there any way to do that? i attached a screenshot to help show what i mean.
I was wondering if there's any resource that explains how to use w3m. I checked the man page but this just lists the startup options. I also did some google searches but couldn't find anything useful. I was able to find bits and pieces of info on different sites (e.g. how to enter a URL, how to go back a page, etc.) but there was no site that had all this sort of information in one place.
I'm using the default media player 'Banshee', and when I select multiple tracks to edit bulk information, ie Album Name or Genre, it's only changing the track I right click on, regardless of multiple being selected.Is this the default action for Banshee, and if so, is there a way to change multiple track information at once.
I'm trying to subscribe to a podcast using banshee, the problem is that when the add dialog disappears nothing happen. No error is given and my podcast isn't added.I'sure it's a valid podcast since I can add it to rhythmbox.
I have a problem where I can't shuffle songs in Banshee Media Player. All the playback options to repeat and shuffle songs are grayed out. Makes me absolutely mad right now since I wanted to make a playlist with Christmas songs to play while decorating the Christmas tree. And I wanted the list to be played at random... no luck there.
Tried to upgrade via ppa to latest version but that didn't do the trick.
I have a fairly large music library, mostly in mp3-format. I run 10.04 LTS and Banshee 1.8.0.
Rhytmbox seems to be able to shuffle, but I am kinda used to Banshee and would like to continue using it.
I'm experiencing a problem running Banshee 2.0 on my Ubuntu 11.04 system. Basically, I'm getting the following fatal error, the code of which is quoted hereunder. Of note is that uninstalling and reinstalling Banshee (through Ubuntu Software Centre) doesn't fix this problem. Incidentally or not, I also seem to have a problem with my other (and preferred) media player, Amarok. This is the error code:
Code: Si verificata un eccezione non gestita: Sqlite error 14: unable to open database file (SQL: UPDATE CorePrimarySources SET CachedCount = 1568 WHERE PrimarySourceID = 1) at Hyena.Data.Sqlite.Connection.CheckError (Int32 errorCode, System.String sql) [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0 at Hyena.Data.Sqlite.Connection.Execute (System.String sql) [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0 at Hyena.Data.Sqlite.HyenaSqliteCommand.Execute (Hyena.Data.Sqlite.HyenaSqliteConnection hconnection, Hyena.Data.Sqlite.Connection connection) [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0 Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation.
I was glad to see another release of exaile. I'm always happy to see improving mainstream desktop apps, especially when they start being much superior to their commercial counterparts in both, quality and quantity, of features. But as if developers are ignoring the simple usability problems - again - exaile like all other gnome music players (apart from amarok, but that's kde!) can't browse your library by album artist!
I'm trying to figure out how to change information on audio files. On Rhythmbox, for example, the genre or artist information might be incorrect, or unknown. Thus far i can't find a way to change this info.
I recently downloaded several MP3 albums from Amazon. Most of these albums contain works from several different composers. The problem is, the Rhythmbox music player in Ubuntu Maverick won't display composer tags. I am therefore searching for a way to overwrite the artist tag of each file with the composer info. This overwriting would need to be a batch process.
Let's say that I have an album of the New York Philharmonic performing works of a dozen different composers.I would like for the correct composer to overwrite New York Philharmonic in each file. Is it possible to use a program such as EasyTag do what I need? Please provide detailed instructions and/or a link to such details.
I am looking for an application to detect mp3 duplicates using the mp3 spectrograph (sound wave matching) or something similar because simply I have many mp3 files that are the same but with different bitrate,ID3 tags,filesize
I am trying to find a best tool to track configuration files changes. I did find some information about osec and mactime, but, it seems, that they are not included in fedora/rpmfusion package databases. is there any tool that can be installed as a package?
I have been using ubuntu 9.10 for about a week and have had problems with my keyboard and track pad on my laptop. I can navigate grub (I'm dual booting) but once ubuntu starts to load then I am unable to use my input devices. Even using cap locks doesn't turn on the corresponding light. As fa as I can tell it seems intermittent and I can make an STR.
From a linux host, how can I find information about a lun that has been exported. For example, if I have 3 100G luns available via FC. How can I tell which is which? I've looked at fdisk, /proc/scsi/scsi, /sys, lscsi, sg3_utils. So If I want to destroy one of these luns, how can I find out how to identify it on the san device? 2.6 kernel. Not looking for something distro specific, but i have a mix of rhel5 and sles.
Just installed Ubuntu Netbook Remix 10.04 on my Acer ao532h netbook.I did a clean install, but I had been running UNR 9.10 for some time without a hitch. The new version fixed a slight bug that had made it necessary to tinker with the wifi adapter in the old version, and also seems to boot faster as advertised. However, there is one slight problem with the new version: when I attempt to engage visual effects in the appearance control panel (something which worked in the old version), the options are grayed out, as if the video driver is not installed. When I go to the hardware drivers panel, it doesn't detect any drivers to install. As far as I can remember, I didn't have to install any drivers for the GMA 3150 graphics card in the old version of UNR.
I have been comileing that kinect hack with the 3d video capture. i did everything, calibrated cameras and everything else but when i try to open the final program (KinectViewer) i get back this error: Caught exception Misc::File: Error opening file CameraCalibrationMatrices-B00363201643043B.dat in mode rb. From what ive gathered off the web it is not opening it because its in binaly mode or something to that affect. any tips to fix it? is there a way to change what mode im in?
I instaled vmware and created a virtual machine which is bt4. first of all i cant creat an user password and i log on with root second when i run the command airmon-ng i cant get my device name or anything caz nothing comes up under interface or i forgot what its caled.
I made the switch to all Ubuntu and I'm loving it.One of my favorite Windows features was in Windows Media Player.If I added an audio track to WMP, I could search within WMP (using internet) to find the album info.It was something like, right-click, "Find album info"
I have an mp4 video which includes a 5.1 audio stream, while I only have stereo speakers from my computer. It is hooked up to my receiver through the audio out (headphone) jack from the back of the machine. Anyway, I have a stereo audio stream for the video, but I can't figure out how to add the mp4a stream to the mp4.
I have checked out avidemux, but it doesn't seem to handle mp4a files. I don't want to transcribe the video, simply add the audio to the mp4 container. Does anyone know how to accomplish this in Ubuntu?
