no usb cd drive support in banshee

[Doug McMahon]

Binary package hint: banshee

Banshee seems unable to be used with external usb cd/dvd drives. This will certainly present some issue with netbook users who don't have internal cd/dvd drives

Please could you run in a terminal "banshee --debug" and attach all the output information to your report? Thanks!

Sorry for delay - wanted to do a fresh install to discount any accumulated issues (.iso of jan. 19
debug is attached - reflects starting banshee in debug, inserting an audio cd in external drive (/dev/sr2) and then in the pop up choosing banshee to open with

Note that the drive never shows in banshee's left side list's

Doug please could you include more details about your hardware (specially your dvd-rw/cd-rw)?

attached lshw on external drive (banshee is ok on the internal drives
( and a heavily clipped out on vlc just to show external can be played ok, ect.

[Doug McMahon (mc3man)]

Abd to note - I went ahead and for the moment installed rhythmbox, it like vlc hasn't any issue discovering and playing from the external
Also - filed this bug mainly on behalf on a couple of netbook users whose only option is external, if need be I could ask, if any other info hardware wise or debug is desired, for them to attach.

Same problem here with 10.04 (EasyPeasy 1.6) and Banshee 2.0.1. My external drive is a Samsung Model SE-S204.
CDs in this drive are readable by other programs, and I am able to play music from an MP3 player via the same USB port. I will be happy to provide more information, but will need instructions on how to retrieve it.
