Package: banshee Version: 2.4.1-3+b1 Severity: wishlist Dear Maintainer,
Currently, when an album or song is selected for playback, when finished, Banshee always continues on with the next song or loops back to the beginning to repeat what it just played. In other words it never stops playing ... something - anything. There should be a preference setting which asks Banshee to stop playing once an album, Queue or song has finished playing. The use-case for disabling loop back is to imagine a person selecting an album to play, listening, then when finished - selecting another. This would mimic the activity of playing single CD's or Records on older players. Currently, with Banshee, a user must first recognize that their album has restarted from the beginning, stop it, then select something else to listen to. I imagine Banshee currently operates as if the "Loop back to Beginning" option were selected on any other music player. A checkbox located under Playback - Stop When Finished does not appear to provide the required functionality. It is not clear what this switch is supposed to do. It can be checked while a song is playing, but unchecks itself after the song ends. Playback continues on with the next song as always. I propose a checkbox under either Preferences - General or Preferences - Source Specific - Music entitled "Loop playback". The checkbox would default to a checked state and, when checked, mimic the current behaviour of Banshee. If unchecked, Banshee would automatically stop playback once the current selection completed. Thanks. -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_CA.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_CA.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages banshee depends on: ii gnome-icon-theme 3.4.0-2 ii gstreamer0.10-alsa [gstreamer0.10-audiosink 0.10.36-1 ii gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad [gstreamer0.10-au 0.10.23-7 ii gstreamer0.10-plugins-base 0.10.36-1 ii gstreamer0.10-plugins-good [gstreamer0.10-a 0.10.31-3+nmu1 ii gstreamer0.10-pulseaudio [gstreamer0.10-aud 0.10.31-3+nmu1 ii libboo2.0.9-cil 0.9.5~git20110729.r1.202a430-2 ii libc6 2.13-37 ii libcairo2 1.12.2-2 ii libdbus-glib1.0-cil 0.5.0-4 ii libdbus1.0-cil 0.7.0-5 ii libgconf2.0-cil 2.24.2-2 ii libgdata2.1-cil 2.1.0.0-1 ii libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 2.26.1-1 ii libgkeyfile1.0-cil 0.1-4 ii libglib2.0-0 2.33.12+really2.32.4-3 ii libglib2.0-cil 2.12.10-5 ii libgpod4 0.8.2-7 ii libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-0 0.10.36-1 ii libgstreamer0.10-0 0.10.36-1 ii libgtk-sharp-beans-cil 2.14.1-3 ii libgtk2.0-0 2.24.10-2 ii libgtk2.0-cil 2.12.10-5 ii libgudev1.0-cil 0.1-3 ii libkarma0 0.1.2-2.3 ii libmono-addins0.2-cil 0.6.2-2 ii libmono-cairo4.0-cil 2.10.8.1-5 ii libmono-corlib4.0-cil 2.10.8.1-5 ii libmono-posix4.0-cil 2.10.8.1-5 ii libmono-sharpzip4.84-cil 2.10.8.1-5 ii libmono-system-core4.0-cil 2.10.8.1-5 ii libmono-system-xml4.0-cil 2.10.8.1-5 ii libmono-system4.0-cil 2.10.8.1-5 ii libmono-zeroconf1.0-cil 0.9.0-4 ii libmtp9 1.1.3-35-g0ece104-4 ii libnotify0.4-cil 0.4.0~r3032-5 ii libpango1.0-0 1.30.0-1 ii libsoup-gnome2.4-1 2.38.1-2 ii libsoup2.4-1 2.38.1-2 ii libsqlite3-0 3.7.13-1 ii libtaglib2.0-cil 2.0.4.0-1 ii libwebkitgtk-1.0-0 1.8.1-3.3 ii libwnck22 2.30.7-1 ii libx11-6 2:1.5.0-1 ii libxrandr2 2:1.3.2-2 ii libxxf86vm1 1:1.1.2-1 ii mono-runtime 2.10.8.1-5 Versions of packages banshee recommends: ii avahi-daemon 0.6.31-1 ii brasero 3.4.1-4 ii media-player-info 17-1 Versions of packages banshee suggests: pn banshee-dbg <none> ii gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg 1:0.10.13-dmo1 ii gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad 0.10.23-7 ii gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly 0.10.19-2+b2 -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
