Banshee hangs every ~3000 songs starting at #7000 when importing 13238 songs collection

[Fabián Rodríguez]

Binary package hint: banshee

When trying to import a 13238 songs collection from the ~/Music folder into Banshee, it hangs using 3 CPUs of 4 on a i5 680 quad-core 3.6 GHz system.

It imports fine until it reaches somewhere around 7000 songs, then it hangs for a few minutes turningf gray, it resumes until reaching 10893 songs, then resumes again and keeps hanging occasionally, increasingly often. Most songs are ripped FLAC and OGA, with few MP3s.

I am attaching two screenshots, running Natty (64 bit) with all updates.

I think I'm seeing the same issue. Attached are 3 logs, the first one while playing a song, the second one after I clicked "Play Queue", the 3rd one after I clicked "Shuffle" while in the play queue. That's when Banshee went gray. It resumed after a few seconds. I'm on Mint 11 RC.

$ ps aux |grep -i banshee | grep -v grep
1000 6335 0.0 0.0 16296 1704 ? S 20:38 0:00 bash /usr/bin/banshee --redirect-log --play-enqueued

Banshee eating about 700% CPU. I'm running a -ck kernel on an i7 2600K so the system is still quite usable, but come on. :-)

Mathias, have you tried to disabled LibraryWatcher in your banshee options?

yeah that's the same issue i'm having, and it's really similar to the upstream bug, banshee is 'really' slow to import a huge amount of music, for me it's random: sometimes it crashes and other it just hang for ever.
