Podcasts dont show up in iPod "podcasts" menu

[Tom Badran]

Binary package hint: banshee

Podcasts downloaded with the podcast plugin sync to the ipod and can be played, however they dont show up in the "Music->Podcasts" menu on the iPod.

I guess this is just a missing piece of metadata/list in the database. I did have a quick google to see if it was something obvious, but didn't spot anything.

[Luke Faraone (lfaraone)]

I am having this issue as well. I have a Silver iPod nano 2g and am running the Gutsy beta using database version 20.

[Wade Menard (wade-ezri)]

Old bug was against rhythmbox

[Simao (simaomm)]

I am still having this issue. Running banshee 1.2.1.

[Andrew Conkling (andrewski)]

Simao, yes, this is still an issue. The issue is Confirmed upstream, meaning no one has worked on it yet.

[bongo (djcoolkid)]

dammit ... im now at 1.3.3 and STILL HAVING THAT ISSUE

[Simao (simaomm)]

Common guys! Importance for this is Low? I would say this is a major issue!

[Andrew Conkling (andrewski)]

CC yourself on the upstream bug to stay as updated of the progress as
possible. Beyond that, your choices are to patch it yourself or to pay
someone else to.

As always, to maintain a respectful atmosphere, please follow the code of
conduct - http://www.ubuntu.com/community/conduct/ . Bug reports and
software are handled by humans, the majority of whom are volunteers, so
please bear this in mind.

I can apply that there is an error in this version 1.4.2, the ipod nano 3r generation, this problem is hampered by the use of ipod, it should be corrected or deleted support plugin ipod from the banshee (as apart from this mistake, there is still a large amount of trouble like this)

[taihen (taihen)]

New version of Banshee & Rhythmbox shipped with Jaunty still have this problem.

[Carlos (carlos-lst)]

Hi everybody,

Just to let you know there's a patch available [1] to fix this issue in Banshee. It tried and so far is working great. I posted some instructions to apply and compile the package that needs fixing (libipod-cil) in the upstream bug page too [2].

This is fixed upstream in the source of ipod-sharp version 0.8.4. When the package libipod-cil in Ubuntu reaches version 0.8.4 this will be fixed.

To my great disappointment, this is still affecting 1.7, with libgpod-sharp 1.0.3093. Oddly this seems to be a regression, as it still works with a Lucid install, but updating to Maverick had caused this issue.

[bassmannate (nathanield-reynolds)]

I can confirm a similar issue on 10.04 with Banshee 1.8. I'm using a iPhone 3GS. Banshee appears to sync to the phone just fine and in fact, the podcasts show up under the podcast subcategory on Banshee. When I unplug the phone, the podcasts show up under music and won't play at all as if the files were corrupted. Music syncs and plays just fine. The issue is only with podcasts. Podcasts cannot be deleted through Banshee.

[Addamaccada (adematthews)]

Also experiencing the same issues as bassmannate using Banshee 1.7.6 on 10.10

[Erigami (erigami)]

I'm experiencing this with Banshee 1.7.6.

[Charles Axilbund (caxilbund)]

I'm experiencing this with Banshee 1.8.0.0 on Opensuse 11.3

[clauderouges (clauderouges)]

Happesn the same with a USB Mass Storage on Banshee 1.8. IS it possible?

[Rafael Mendonça França (rafaelfranca)]

Also experiencing the same issues using Banshee 1.8.0 on 10.10

[Vlad (vladekm-gmail)]

Ubuntu 10.10, Banshee 1.8.0. Podcasts appear under music and are unusable.

[John Barley (strange-cathect)]

Still no fix and I'm using Banshee 2.0. Sad.

[John Artman (john-b-artman)]

Ubuntu 11.04: I have this problem too!

WTF Banshee? Seeing as how almost the entire world uses Apple products at this point (even if they're not open), you think it'd be fixed after FOUR YEARS!

[John Artman (john-b-artman)]

I've been asked to leave a comment here about how this might be a regression in Ubuntu 11.04

This might be a regression in Ubuntu 11.04. Again, not fixed.

[Travis Pew (travisp)]

I'm experiencing this in Banshee 2.0.0 on Ubuntu 11.04 64-bit

[Todd Howe (tehowe)]

I'm using Banshee 2.2.0 and Ubuntu Studio 11.04.

Podcasts, when synced to the ipod,

a) Appear under Music, not under Podcasts
b) Create duplicates
c) Will NOT PLAY - they sit at 0:00

Help!

[bomek (bomek)]

Please reopen

Used 2.2.11 and 2.3.5 with iPod 2.0.4 and I have this problem. Podcast are not shown under Podcast.

It's quite likely that it's caused by a different bug. Could you file a new bug
please? (And forward to bugzilla.gnome.org).
