bug: the app loads infinitely/cannot launch if an SD card is iinserted #21

Closed marek-lach closed 2 years ago

marek-lach commented 2 years ago

I have tested this on a mobile device (the PinePhone). Sometimes, g4music even crashes the entire desktop environment. If an SD card is not present, g4music launches normally.

Sorry for being a bit vague. If there's any way for me to provide more logs for you to debug the issue, let me know how to do it and I'll do it.

Version tested: 1.4.0

Try change your music location in the preferences, select the music folder of the SD card.

The application cannot be launched properly, so I am unfortunately unable to change any settings. I would suspect some kind of a memory leak, or unhandled behaviour, when it comes to external storage, such as SD cards? Through I am really not sure at all why that would happen.

Will provide some screenshots later.

Try eject the SD card, then launch g4music, then insert the SD, and select the music location?

I am currently unable to test this, because the SD card reader on my device is right next to the battery, so I cannot both power the device and take the SD card in, or out at the same time.

However, I do have several corrupted files/songs on that SD card, and I wonder if the issue with g4music freezing/not launching is maybe because it cannot properly skip over, and doesn't know how to handle, what to do with some corrupted and unplayable songs, maybe...?

Tried without the SD card also, same launch issue, must be a problem with my desktop environment confoguration perhaps, and not the app. Through I did not have a problem launching it, before G4music 1.4 came out, only since then.

Closing for now, as I am unable to provide any more information with regards to the cause...
