Bug 134707 – media-sound/banshee hangs at 'Flushing to disk' with iPod

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Andy Botting 2006-05-28 17:58:18 UTC]

After trying many versions of banshee over the last couple of months on my powerbook (PPC), I always get the same problem. Copying the music over to the iPod seems appears to work until the 'Flushing to disk' bit. It hangs, and I get this message in the console:


Unhandled Exception: IPod.DatabaseReadException: Detected unsupported database version 285212672
in <0x00280> IPod.DatabaseRecord:Read (IPod.DatabaseRecord db, System.IO.BinaryReader reader)
in <0x0012c> IPod.SongDatabase:Reload (Boolean createFresh)

in <0x00658> Banshee.Dap.DapDevice:Transcode ()
in (wrapper delegate-invoke) System.MulticastDelegate:invoke_void ()

I get this error when:
 1) try to read my ipod (after it has successfully sync'd with gtkpod)
 2) try to write an initial itunes db (with banshee) after doing an mkfs.vfat on the ipod.

These problems don't seem to occur on my x86 box though.

I've done it myself now

[Comment 3 Luis Medinas (RETIRED) 2006-05-30 18:22:40 UTC]

thanks... i'll get in touch with the upstream about this and expecting to be fixed soon.

Thanks again

[Comment 4 Luis Medinas (RETIRED) 2006-06-02 19:08:33 UTC]

the bug is fixed according to the upstream on 0.5.16 release. It's available on Gentoo CVS.

Thanks!

[Comment 5 Luis Medinas (RETIRED) 2006-06-03 09:36:26 UTC]

reopening since you confirmed upstream that isn't really fixed.

[Comment 6 Andy Botting 2006-06-05 19:28:40 UTC]

Ok, so the deal was I had to nuke my pre-ipod-sharp-0.5.15 iTunesDB, and recreate it. It wouldn't work using a 0.5.15 iTunesDB and try and read it using 0.5.16 on PPC.

I have been able to read and write the iTunesDB on both x86 and ppc.
