I'm having a bit of an annoying problem with Banshee. I have a library that's not so big, only 300-400 songs. However, I'm the problem arises when I play songs. When I double click to play a song, it plays normally, as expected. But during a playlist or my whole library, or even a playlist with a single song being played, something funny happens: It starts the next track f.ex. in the middle, but not at the beginning. Rarely at the beginning. This is quite annoying, and I don't really have an idea what may cause it. It used to work completely fine before, and I find it hard to believe that it may be a matter of a corrupted database in Banshee.
Has anyone else had this problem, and if so, is there any solution to this?
I'm sorry if this is the wrong place to ask, but I believe it'd be appropriate since I do run Ubuntu (11.10) and Banshee is the default player.
Problem solved:
The problem was caused by the gapless playback option. Disabling it made the problem disappear with instant effect.
There seems to have been a good amount of problems with this feature throughout history when I searched it up.
The reason why it happens is hard to understand off the bat, but it's most probably a bug.
Possible cause:
As hard as it might be to believe, it is most likely a corrupt database.
Possible solution:
You can backup your database, then rescan your library, and the problem should be gone. If it is not gone, then you need to report a bug (because it would be something wrong in the code and not the database.
To backup the database:
/home/yourusername/.config/banshee-1banshee.dbto something else (such asbansheebk.db)To rescan the library:
Let it complete, then try playing music again and the problem should be gone.
