[Bug 875554] Re: bpm detection goes on endlessly if the music folder contains a non-audio file

 

** Description changed:

- When I start banshee it shows a  turning throbber in its lower right edge. If the mouse cursor is hovered over it a pop-up says that the bpm detection is running. This is only true for the first few minutes after I have added new music to the library, though. 
- Most of the time banshee when not playing does neither cause disk activity nor consume more CPU power than needed for updating the throbber. 
- 
- My guess would be that the bpm detection has halted at the first file
- that could not be decoded by gstreamer, see the attached log file of
- banshee's console output that indicates that the bpm detector seeingly
- tries to analyze an html file. But that is only a guess.
+ If the music folder contains any text file containing lyrics, html file
+ or any other file gstreamer doesn't know how to decode the bpm detection
+ will stop at this file leaving the throbber running and leaving half of
+ the music library without bpm information. The only hint the user gets
+ about that problem is the console message that gstreamer has not been
+ able to decode a file - and the fact that the throbber in the lower left
+ edge of the screen is turning endlessly always indicating that the bpm
+ detection is in progress.

Title:
  bpm detection goes on endlessly if the music folder contains a non-
  audio file

Status in “banshee” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  If the music folder contains any text file containing lyrics, html
  file or any other file gstreamer doesn't know how to decode the bpm
  detection will stop at this file leaving the throbber running and
  leaving half of the music library without bpm information. The only
  hint the user gets about that problem is the console message that
  gstreamer has not been able to decode a file - and the fact that the
  throbber in the lower left edge of the screen is turning endlessly
  always indicating that the bpm detection is in progress.
