Public bug reported: The attached archive contains 7000 "songs: of 1-second silence. Untar the archive into the music folder. The mediscanner will take several minutes to index the collection.
Start the music app while the mediascanner is running. I'm seeing different kinds of errors every time I kill the music app and start it again while the mediscanner is indexing. Sometimes, it's an instant crash. Sometimes, I get the "No music found" page. Sometimes, I get the song list, but the song list is empty and will not fill. Sometimes, I get this in the application log: Error finalising statement: Could not finalize statement: database is locked Failed to retrieve rows: database is locked And this: Failed to start a new media-hub player session: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken. Failed to create a new media player backend. Video playback will not function. Could not finish contructing new AalMediaPlayerService instance since m_hubPlayerSession is NULL. Basically, the application is completely unusable and broken while indexing is in progress. Once mediascanner finishes indexing, things behave normally again. This makes for a seriously bad user experience when someone inserts a flash card with their music collection and, almost certainly, will immediately go to the music app to start playing things. ** Affects: music-app Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: mediascanner2 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Attachment added: "music-no-artwork.tar.gz" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1531650/+attachment/4545201/+files/music-no-artwork.tar.gz ** Also affects: mediascanner2 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1531650 Title: Crashes and other bad behavior while mediascanner is indexing To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/music-app/+bug/1531650/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
