Eagle Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 Hi all, I have Banshee 2.6.2.installed on Mint 17.3 Mate. Last week this problem of no sound started. When i double click a song in My Music or Play Queue the song is grayed out and i get a grayed out X in a square box next to the song. The nornally bright blue high light of the song is a dull blue. The volumn slider works but the slider for the time left of a song does not move even when i click on play. I also cant move it with the mouse. Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Eagle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raymac46 Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 See if you have pavucontrol installed. That might give some insight into your problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

securitybreach Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 Can you launch banshee from a terminal and add a song to see if you get any output? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raymac46 Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 What is the Output and Configuration tab in pavucontrol showing? On my machine I have both HDMI audio and Built In Analog Stereo listed. In Playback I use the Built In Analog Stereo since I don't have HDMI speakers connected on my Monitor. The playback tab shows the information about Banshee which is currently running fine - playing 38 Special Southern Rock Mp3s.. It may be you'll have to remove and reinstall Banshee. Alternatively you could try an install of Rhythmbox and see if that works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. J Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 (edited) As far as Banshee goes, I've never used it so I can't offer much help, but you may want to try VLC media player. I use nvlc myself, a menu-based CLI version. (It's awesome once you get the hang of it). It's automatically installed as part of the vlc package (which you can install through apt-get if you haven't got it already.) just open up a terminal and type 'nvlc'. pressing 'shift + B' will open up a file browser in your home directory, so you can add a file to the plalist (or an entire directory by pressing 'spacebar'. Â Footnote: Pressing 'h' will open up the help dialogue. Edited April 11, 2016 by Dr. J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedon James Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 I also have Banshee 2.6.2 running on Ubuntu 14.04. I've never experienced, nor heard of your issue, but I did see Banshee act similarly when I recently learned how to add internet radio station to Banshee. Until I put the URL exactly as Banshee expected it, it placed the small "x" in a box next to the station I had added. Once I had the address as Banshee liked it, the "x" went away and the station played. With respect to your song files, these issues are likely attributable to either the music files themselves; the Banshee program itself; or an external factor outside of the music files or Banshee. In order to figure it out, check out these ideas: Â - Do all songs in Banshee act like this, or just certain ones? If just certain ones, have you installed the restricted-extra codecs? Not sure what Mint package it is, but in Ubuntu it is ubuntu-restricted-extras. Also, is it possible that your song(s) has DRM in it, such as Apple's proprietary *.m4p format; also MS *.wav format may or may not be proprietary...no way to tell other than it just won't play. Proprietary music can only be played on the device it was acquired with; if possible, burn to a cd with the original device/software, then rip the cd from within Banshee and DRM is gone! Â - Was Banshee working before, but now it has stopped? If so, this might suggest a corruption of some sort. Since this is happening with your music, I am thinking that your Banshee database (which shows your music in Banshee) is somehow corrupted or is no longer matching up with the physical location on the hard drive. If you click Edit>Preferences>Source Specifc, does Banshee point to the correct directory? If not, adjust to point to the correct directory. Alternatively, is your music on an external drive or is it located on the same internal HD as your OS? If on an external drive, make sure it is mounted. If It is mounted, or if its on the same internal HD as your OS, verify your permissions haven't changed somehow. Â - Perhaps your database is corrupted. I had issues with my Banshee database a LONG time ago, back before Banshee hit the 2.x series, and the solution was to rebuild my database. I think I had to delete a config file in the Banshee directory, then allow Banshee to rescan my directories to rebuild. This looks like what I remember doing: Â http://askubuntu.com/questions/44578/how-to-really-really-rescan-media-library-in-banshee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted April 11, 2016 Author Share Posted April 11, 2016 Hi all, raymac46: I have both HDMI audio and Built In Analog Stereo listed and i also use the built In Analog Stereo. I have 400 songs which is over 6 gig and if at all possible i dont want to remove and install banshee;-(. the songs are grouped into classical, country, and rock and listed in order as i like them to play.

Eagle Posted April 11, 2016 Author Share Posted April 11, 2016 Hedon James, Do all songs in Banshee act like this, or just certain ones? All songs. have you installed the restricted-extra codecs? Yes i have Ubuntu restricte extras installed. I havent added any music for months. Was Banshee working before, but now it has stopped? Yes it has worked great since i installed Mint 17.3 quite awhile ago. Banshee database (which shows your music in Banshee) is somehow corrupted or is no longer matching up with the physical location on the hard drive. The locatiion of the music has not changed. If you click Edit>Preferences>Source Specifc, does Banshee point to the correct directory? Yes it points to the correct directory and all music is on the HD as my OS. I believe this is the trouble. After reading the link i did the (under media/import media) and it works!! Its not in order but i have all day to rearange the music as i like it. You all are top notch!! Thanks for all suggestions/help. You rock! Thank you, thank you, Eagle 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedon James Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 (edited) Well, that's a new one. Do you have "gapless playback" enabled? Seems to have been an issue awhile back, affecting multiple media players, not just Banshee: https://bugs.launchp...dio/ bug/978604 Â Do you have other media players installed that you could test whether it's a Banshee problem, versus a system problem? Can you disable "gapless playback" and see if that helps? Â **EDIT** added information: Â Do you have the wiki enabled in preferences?

Eagle Posted April 11, 2016 Author Share Posted April 11, 2016 Hi raymac46 I tried it but nothing happens. I checked and still the same problem;-(. Â I believe you all ned an explaination of what has happened since April 5th. I posted at a site that works with banshee. I had a reply shortly after and did what was asked posting the results then nothing. By niothing i mean no views. Posted at another site on the 6th and nothing. Last night in an email to Corrine i told her my problem with banshee and she recommended this site which i registerd at today;-). So i wasted 5 days waiting for help. today you all were on it from the get go and i appreciate that very much. Im contracted for 44 lawns this season but because of the crazy spring we have had i havent been able to do any cleanups till tomorrow. My lawns are not what are called "postage stamp lawns". Those are the lawns that it takes longer to unload the rider than to mow. The vast majority of my lawns are measured by acres. I will be doing cleanups from 8am till dark this time of the year so weekdays to work on anything other than lawns is out. Saturday ill be doing my country lawns which are dump on the property generally in the woods so i dont depend on the dump to be open which closes at noon;-( Sunday ill pack up the equipment i need and the dog in the SUV, drive to the southern part of the state and compete in stress agility field trials. This will be an all day event which means it will be dark 30 before im back home. Here are 2 videos that will give you an idea of what i and Mia will be doing although not all of the obsticles. The first is a guy putting his dog through the "motions" at his place to keep his dog ready to compete. The second video shows some of the actual obsticles Mia will be going over and through although again it doesnt show all. So time is truly critical for me. However i can wait till the Saturady afternoon of the 23rd if needed. Eagle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
