Re: [Banshee-List] Banshee Crashes on Import

[Christian Perreault <christian perreault 2 gmail com>]

Hi!

I noticed another annoying crash cause for several months. Banshee hangs 
and crashes when a network folder is mounted. I encountered it with 
Gnome Google Drive Files integration and Nextcloud (WebDAV mount)).

Because of that, I pushed back as long as I could the use of these tools 
to remotely backup my files. But I had to adopt these, either on my work 
and personal computers. I am on latest Ubuntu (19.04). With automated 
backup (using duplicity), you can't set the precise moment when a backup 
will start, thus Banshee can crash and be unusable anytime that a backup 
task runs (until the drive is unmounted).

If anyone has a solution for this, I am more than interested in it.

I put many efforts in trying to figure out how to develop Banshee over 
the last years. I think that I came close but I couldn't succeed. 
Official drop of Banshee from the Ubuntu official packages looks like a 
signal that its development is disappointing, isn't it?

Working mainly with Python in data science, I chose to invest my time in 
developing Lollypop, in a way that it will have most of Banshee powerful 
features such has smart playlists, playlist autofill. I already migrated 
my database and could quickly figure out my way to fork the project 
source code, start to develop it and submit pull requests to the main 
developer. I still use Banshee when I need my regular and smart 
playlists that took me years to build and refine, until those features 
are available in Lollypop.

I will and already miss Banshee.
