Re: [Banshee-List] From iTunes libray to Banshee (Fail!)

[olivier dufour <olivier duff gmail com>]

Hi,

For information, the code is here :

http://git.gnome.org/browse/banshee/tree/src/Extensions/Banshee.PlayerMigration/Banshee.PlayerMigration/ItunesPlayerImportSource.cs

The issue come from the ConvertToLocalUri function.

I have no time to investigate more...

Hi! My name is Miguel and I come from Spain. Recently I'm trying to import my
iTunes libray -with more than 400GB of music and hundreds of playlists- to
Banshee with no luck.
My *scheme* (summarized) is as follows:

*/dev/sda1* --> Windows 7. Here is the iTunes library under the path:
/media/migue/Windows 7/Documents and Settings/Migue/Music/iTunes or
C:/Documents and Settings/Migue/Music/iTunes in Win.

*/dev/sda6* --> Linux Mint.

*/dev/sdb1* --> Data. 'D:/' in Windows. This is a second physical hard drive
in which I store all my personal data including Music. So I *don't* store
the music under the folder "C:/.../iTunes/iTunes Media/Music" (maybe here is
the problem?)

Well, I open Banshee and use the 'iTunes import tool', select my xml library
file at Win partition and starts the process. After a few seconds Banshee
shows many errors saying "Unable to map iTunes URI to local URI" and no
track has been imported.
The fact is that, curiously, the Podcast files (stored in C:/Documents and
Settings/Migue/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Podcasts) are imported correctly.
So, I think that the problem is that Banshee assumes that I have my music
files under the iTunes folder and therefore the import fails.

I'm developer and I'm thinking of writing a program which modifies the XML

Oh, if you're a developer, I highly recommend you that you file the bug in our bug tracking system first ( http://banshee.fm/contribute/file-bugs/ ) and then you help us fix the bug.

Getting started to debug banshee shouldn't be hard ( http://banshee.fm/contribute/write-code/ ) but in case you need help, there are some of us in the #banshee channel (in irc.gnome.org), and we may be able to help you with any doubts you have.
