Cannot export banshee playlist

[Mary J]

Binary package hint: banshee

Attempting to export either a .pls or a .m3u playlist in banshee leads to error message:

Could not export playlist:
Exception has been thrown by the target of a invocation.

I enter the save dialog, enter the name and choose the export type, and hit the save button: then the error occurs.

Using Ubuntu 9.04
Banshee version : 1.4.3-3ubuntu2

Hello Mary, and thanks for taking the time to report this bug. could you
test if this bug still occurs in Banshee 1.5.0? If it does, could you
run the following command in a terminal, and attach the output here,
please? Banshee has to be quit first prior to running this command.

I am having the same problem. I have Ubuntu 9.10 and Banshee version 1.5.1-1. It happens whether I choose MPEG Version 3.0 Extended (*.m3u), Shoutcast Playlist version 2 (*.pls), or XML Shareable Playlist Format version 1 (*.xspf). This page was the only thing I can find on the error, so I'm hoping someone here can help

I have been getting this error. I ran Banshee from the command line with --debug-addins trying to see the output, and I no longer got the error. I close banshee and re-open it normally, no error.

[Chow Loong Jin (hyperair)]

Kinny, could you try opening "banshee --debug" in a terminal, then saving the output (after you get the window) to a file and uploading it?

[Max Schumacher (phraine)]

I had the same error, but when I ran in debug mode it worked flawles. Strange...

[Pedro Villavicencio (pedro)]

Could somebody having the issue send us the log requested previously?

[Victor Vargas (kamus)]

We are closing this bug report because it lacks the information we need to investigate the problem, as described in the previous comments. Please reopen it if you can give us the missing information, and don't hesitate to submit bug reports in the future. To reopen the bug report you can click on the current status, under the Status column, and change the Status back to "New". Thanks again!

I have the same issue with my Banshee version 1.8.0.
I've attached the information requested BUT, just like Max Schumacher, when the program is run in debug mode, the export works.

[Victor Vargas (kamus)]

Please can you test if this behaviour is still occurring with latest release of banshee from ppa daily repository (1.9.2)?

[jotomicron (jotomicron)]

The problem is still present after upgrading to 1.9.2. As before, when run under debugging mode, the problem goes away. Here's the new output, in case it is needed by the devs.

[Bertrand Lorentz (bertrand-lorentz)]

How do you start banshee when you don't run it in debug mode ? From the "Applications" menu or some other way ?

Does the problem also happen if you start banshee from a terminal, but not in debug mode ?
If yes, could you post the output you get then ?

[jotomicron (jotomicron)]

The problem does indeed go away when started from the terminal! Nicely caught ;)

I regularly start banshee from panflute applet, so I don't really know how it gets started, though... There's an executable, panflute-launch-player, that apparently starts whatever is the default player in panflute, but here lies the end of my knowledge!

[Bertrand Lorentz (bertrand-lorentz)]

The upstream bug only mentions playing a radio station, but the underlying problem affected everything related to playlists parsing, including exporting a playlist to a file.

Just for the record, this commit should be fix this http://git.gnome.org/browse/banshee/commit/?id=348a9032
