[Banshee-List] MTP sync adds invalid files, no album art

[IBBoard <ibboard gmail com>]

I've got a Creative Zen X-Fi that often refuses to sync properly with 
Banshee. Every so often I find an update that makes it work again, but a 
few months down the line (when I try to sync again) Banshee refuses to 
play nicely again.

The problem I have is that Banshee sees all existing tracks as "Other" 
(orange in the usage bar). Any tracks that Banshee adds appear to sync 
correctly, but when I try to play them then a) they don't have any album 
art and b) a message pops up saying "There is a problem playing this 
audio" and then it skips to the next track (which also fails).

Syncing from Rhythmbox works fine (but doesn't have my album art, etc, 
set up). Syncing from Banshee, disconnecting and re-connecting lets 
Banshee see the tracks it synced, but not other tracks. Checking from 
Nautilus, it looks like other tracks go in sub-folders, but Banshee 
tracks don't.

I've tried various versions of libmtp in case a later one introduced a 
bug, but without success. It has also happened with most of the 2.x 
series at least once (I'm currently running 2.6).

Does anyone have any ideas or anything I can try to debug the issue 
before reporting it as a bug?




Setup: openSUSE 12.2, libmtp9-1.1.5-2.1 (from openSUSE Factory) or the 
normal v1.1.3, banshee-2.6.0 (from the Gnome:Apps OBS) or banshee-2.4.1 
(from openSUSE 12.2), Creative Zen X-FI (8GB) 1.04.08_1.03.03
