Cannot import Banshee audio since I upgraded to 18.04












1















I have recently upgraded from Ubuntu 16.04 to 18.04. Since the upgrade I can no longer import audio media in Banshee. As soon as I select any folder Banshee either hangs or crashes. I have found plenty of references to people having similar problems but the only solution I found was to disable all extensions. I have tried doing this but to no avail.



Is there anything else I can do to get Import working again?

          Having a very similar problem. I can import music from CD, but attempting to import from a folder (in the file tree where all the music already in Banshee lives) has been failing since the upgrade.



          I can select one of the files in a folder that I can't import, select Banshee as the app to open it with, and it plays just fine in the File System Queue.



          Have sent multiple crash reports.



          As mentioned in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/banshee/+bug/1687220,
          as a workaround, if the folder in question is in the "Music Folder" tree, rescanning the music library will add it to the library.
          (Just confirmed that this works.).
