Panflute Does not update Banshee's status

Here is a picture to prove I'm not telling fibs :P http://imgur.com/kbF8x.jpg

I have no idea how to give debug info, so if you could help me do that, I'll be happy to help you help me help you to help me :)

What version of Banshee? What version of Panflute? What are the contents of the files in ~/.local/share/panflute/ ?

[johnhamelink (johnhamelink)]

Panflute 0.6.2
Banshee 1.6 RC1 (1.5.5)

Nothing seems wrong with what you posted. Nor can I reproduce the problem, using the latest Panflute and Banshee from their respective PPAs.

You wouldn't happen to have another music player running at the same time as Banshee, would you? If you do, Panflute might be ignoring Banshee until the other player terminates.

I have a similar Problem
using Panflute 0.7.0 and banshee 1.8.0 form maveric

after switching to panflute PPA, panflute states after an right clickt MOC on the first line. Could it be that it means mocp is running. It is not in fact.

[Michael Kasch (mychaos)]

ok after rebooting i got rid of MOC
but still no title information from banshee.
same using version 1.9.0 from unstable ppa

[Michael Kasch (mychaos)]

^^forgot to tell, after getting rid of MOC i can switch songs an time is displayed,
but still stating "keine Wiedergabe" (no Playback in german)

This is the panflute daemon debug output if i change a track, perhaps this helps you

I dont know much about dbus and python, but it seem that banshee only replies with URI of the File, and so panflute has only the location field in his Metadata:

>>> pan.GetMetadata()
dbus.Dictionary({dbus.String(u'location'): dbus.String(u'file:///home/michael/music/Bananafishbones/2004%20-%2036qm/Bananafishbones%20-%2010%20-%20Welcome%20Here.mp3', variant_level=1)}, signature=dbus.Signature('sv'))
>>> bs.GetCurrentTrack()
dbus.Dictionary({dbus.String(u'URI'): dbus.String(u'file:///home/michael/music/Bananafishbones/2004%20-%2036qm/Bananafishbones%20-%2010%20-%20Welcome%20Here.mp3', variant_level=1)}, signature=dbus.Signature('sv'))

Looks more like an changed banshee implementation or banshee related bug
