so I'm enjoying the new Banshee grid list which is really great, but with just one problem. It displays multiple cover art, so I have a really lot of picture for just one album with various artists. I'd like there to be just one, can it be done?
View 3 RepliesI updated to ubuntu 11.04. Now I have banshee instead of rythmbox. However I cannot see anymore any of my covers. All my mp3 have the cover embedded in the mp3 itself. I have never had any problem before. Also by reinstalling rythmbox I cannot see anymore the covers..
View 2 Replies View RelatedBanshee (Version 1.5.2) doesn't seem to support cover art for tracks that include non ascii characters in any way. All manual methods that work with ascii tracks failed (folder.jpg in album folder, copying appropriately named jpg in ~/.cache/album-art, embedding jpg in mp3 metadata). This is really quite a drawback for users who don't have an English-only music collection. Is there any workaround or bugfix that I missed or do I have to go back to Rhythmbox to have non-English cover art?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI've been searching all over google for a way to extract album artwork embedded in id3 tags.
In an ideal world I could do this recursively in my music folder and have it save the artwork as say "cover.jpg" within the album's folder.
Anyone know of a script or program that can do this in either Linux or OSX?
How can I fix the following, borderline irritating issue?
I've tried all of VLCs different Video Output Methods. It didn't use to have this behaviour either, it just began happening now. My taskbar is set to "Always Visible" as I hate "Auto Hide" and I don't want my windows to go above or below it...
I've been using OpenSUSE 11.4 with GNOME for quite a while now and so far I've been a happy camper. This morning I decided to try GNOME 3 and the install went smoothly, with the only exception of rhytmbox(my music player of choice) not being available.Later I found rhythmbox for GNOME 3 in this repo: Index of /repositories/ GNOME:/ Apps/openSUSE_11.4+GNOME_STABLE_3.0.It works well but the Cover Art plugin won't load because it fails to import python-gstreamer.Should I report a bug against OpenSUSE 11.4 or maybe I am doing something wrong?

Our goal is to get the 8 machines to share a single desktop, with the master machine acting as the server. We have looked at using Xinerama or NMM, but we are unsure about how to get started configuring the multi-machine, multi-head display.
Banshee 1.7.5 supports the ipod touch and iphone but i can not figure out how to get it on Ubuntu. Its not in synaptic yet and i can not compile from source because it always says

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables GST_CFLAGSand GST_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
I'm using Banshee for my music and video collection because it works and looks much better than Rhythmbox in my opinion. The only thing that refuses to work (correctly) is the audiobook-feature. I have all my audiobooks (different formats - m4b, mp3, ...) stored in a special folder. The subfolders have no distinct order, sometimes it is author/title, sometimes author - title/ and some books even are in my audiobooks root-folder. I have selected the audiobook folder in the banshee preferences but no audiobooks are shown in banshee. I tried changing the selected folder, changing the structure of the subfolders, but nothing helped.
The only thing that worked was importing the audiobooks into the music library and take them to the audiobooks-section in banshee using drag&drop. But when I removed them from my music library, they were also removed from the audiobooks section. This can't be the right way, because in that casse the option to select the audiobooks-folder in the preferences would be useless.
What is the right (intended) way to get audiobooks into banshee?
My music is stored on a NAS on my home network.
I am trying to get Banshee to see my MP3's on the NAS. It looks like Banshee only will support local folders.
So, is a sym link (symbolic link) in a local folder be the solution? If so, what's the syntax? I know the basic form is ln -s <dir 1> <dir 2>.
Ubuntu's file browser sees the folder as 'smb://192.168.1.200/volume_1/level1/level2/level3/MP3's'
I haven't had any success trying to create a sym link to the NAS folder.
Or, am I approaching this totally wrong and can Banshee support the NAS without a sym link?
I'm using kubuntu 9.10 and I know there was a thread a while back about someone having the same problem with ubuntu. Unfortunately I can't get the ubuntu solution to work with kubuntu
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm having a problem with banshee. It's doubling podcasts. Also it says that three different podcasts have the same size and length as each other(which they don't) Unfortunately I can't download to test them yet as my internets slow till midnight.
In screenshot 1 you can see the podcast doubled when viewing all podcasts. However when i go directly into the Desert island discs feed it only displays one, which is correct(screenshot two)
I'm cleaning up my music library and deleting duplicates and during that process I accidentally deleted the wrong song. Is there some way to undo this process? Banshee gave me no warning, and the trash is empty. I'm assuming there's a command I can use to recover the file, but as I'm a complete noob, I need some assistance.
View 5 Replies View Relatedafter upgrading to Ubuntu 9.10 banshee does not see my Ipod anymore, which is a nano video 3g one. Rhythmbox works though, gtkpod not. I thought I had to install libgpod-dev and libgpod2, but the second library is not available anymore in synaptic. I have installed libgpod4, libgpod-common, -dev.

Same thing happens with Listen and Rhythmbox, but with a segmentation fault.
Amarok doesn't even get past the splash screen, but that's more or less okay because I'd rather stick with gnome.
Guayadeque is the only decent music player that works, and even it isn't without its issues. Audacious also works, but I don't like Audacious(the whole "one big playlist" system... ew).
Of course if I had my way I'd skip gnome music players entirely and go with foobar2000, but wouldn't you know it, that doesn't work either. [URL]
I'm using 10.04 beta, but these problems were present on 9.10 too.
I just added the liveradio extension to banshee which contains both magnatune and shoutcast support.
Magnatune works perfect..but for shoutcasts i can see all stations lists and load them ..but when i click play it stucks in contacting status .. it suddenly worked only one time and then it does not work.
I tried to install some plugins for banshee following instructions on this website: [URL]
I got about halfway through and finally noticed it was for Banshee 0.10.0, so these instructions did not exactly work for 1.6.0. So now when I try to start banshee I get the following output:

Ubuntu 10.04 64 bitBanshee 1.6.1I've been using banshee happily for a while, but it seems recently that whenever I open the program, it shuts down after playing just 1 track. Also if I click the "Recent Favourites" playlist after opening the program shuts immediately.The random closing has happened infrequently in the past and I just simply re-opened the program with no problems, but now it just simply won't let me play more than 1 track.
View 3 Replies View RelatedIs there any way that Banshee would show just one album in album view instead of all of the artist on the same album, Like "Billboarrd top 50" is shown multiple times instead of just once.

I have always used and enjoyed Banshee. I recently did a fresh install of Maverick Meerkat. Banshee runs fine under my user account but crashes instantly under my wife's. I have tried deleting all config files and re-installing. Here is the terminal output when starting the program:

I've star rated hundreds of tracks. All I want to do is write the 4* & 5* tracks to an SD card for use elsewhere. Banshee can use Brasero to write them to CD so at a push I could write a CD then copy it back to an SD card but that seems the long way round.
I'm using Banshee 1.8.1 on Lucid.
Is there a Pandora plugin for Banshee? I know that there was one for Rhythmbox (I used it), but I haven't been able to find one for Banshee.

Completes copying but then does not ask for CD and seems to just stop. Am I doing something wrong? I guess I could import and then burn to CD.I am not wedded to Banshee and am happy if anyone has better recommendation. Currently using Ripoff then Brasero to copy audio CD. not compressing - straight to WAV. Would like to get CD-Text on tracks if I could.

Banshee 2.0
I can hear the sound of my files from any other program. However, Banshee 2.0 (the Ubuntu new player) seems to have a bug or something, and I can hear anything.
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.
