Timothy, it looks like you're hitting an issue with the following file as per the log:
[17 Debug 21:16:07.446] GStreamer running beat detection on /home/tim/Music/christmas/15 Santa Claus Is Coming To Town 2001-12-16.mp3 banshee: BPMDetect.cpp:134: soundtouch::BPMDetect::BPMDetect(int, int): Assertion `2048 < decimateBy * 256' failed. Karl, look for similar lines inside the output of "banshee --debug" and check the sample rate of the file mentioned in your case. The calculation for decimateBy seems to be sample rate divided by 1000, so if you give it a file with a sample rate too low, soundtouch will crash. ** Summary changed: - banshee crashes when launching + Banshee crashes when attempting to calculate BPM of files with sample rate less than 8000 Hz ** Changed in: banshee (Ubuntu) Status: Expired => Triaged -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1310854 Title: Banshee crashes when attempting to calculate BPM of files with sample rate less than 8000 Hz To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/banshee/+bug/1310854/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
