[Frederik Hahne (atomfrede)]

Same problem here (on precise). Not sure if it is Banshee's fault or if the Twonky Server of my QNap NAS is configured wrong.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Chow Loong Jin (hyperair)]

Looks like a bug in Mono.Upnp rather than Banshee.

[Chow Loong Jin (hyperair)]

Fixed in https://github.com/mono/mono-upnp/commit/ee4f4dfdd9

[Chow Loong Jin (hyperair)]

Fixed in 0.1.2-1

[typo (gnomeuser8)]

Workaround:

1. Rename the "~/.config/banshee-1/" directory to "~/.config/banshee-1-mydata" (for example)
2. Make a backup of your "~/.config/banshee-1-mydata/addin-db-001/config.xml", e.g. as "config_old.xml"
3. Replace "~/.config/banshee-1-mydata/addin-db-001/config.xml" with a fresh "~/.config/banshee-1/addin-db-001/config.xml"
4. Delete "~/.config/banshee-1/"
5. Rename the "~/.config/banshee-1-mydata" directory to "~/.config/banshee-1/"

@typo

The "Workaround" dont work. The Symbols still gray and the same error appears when you start Banshee with debug.

[Matej Moško (gnaag)]

This is still an issue 2 years later. All media servers are greyed out in UPNP section. Is there anything going to happen soon?

[Steve Langasek (vorlon)]

The Precise Pangolin has reached end of life, so this bug will not be fixed for that release
