Merge lp://qastaging/~daschuer/mixxx/features_banshee into lp://qastaging/~mixxxdevelopers/mixxx/trunk

Hi,

I have installed the Beta 11 and must say I am really excited to see Banshee being integrated as it improves the workflow a lot! I do not have much time to test it intensively atm, but on a first glance I can access my playlists and load tracks from them.

I noticed a few things though:

- there are a bunch of "playlists" enlisted in Mixxx that aren't actually existing in Banshee or might wanna be hidden such as "queue" and "play list generator"
- the "queue" playlist shows up several times
- there are tracks enlisted in the banshee drop down menu mixed up with the enlisted playlists; the tracks should not be there (Banshee does not even allow tracks in the playlist menu)
- the order of playlists is different to the one in Banshee
- I do not see any of the rating of the tracks, which would be more than nice to have

Thx for the work,

I am happy to keep testing

Any idea if and when it will be integrated into a new release?

Cannot install on Ubuntu 12.04 due to libprotobuf5 dependency not being met.

Just merged with current trunk. It compiles fine on my Ubuntu 12.4 now.

Shall we target this for 1.12.0?

My overall comment is that this is an in-memory copy of the Banshee DB. Could this cause problems for those with large databases?

There is code duplication with the BaseExternal* code that runs Traktor/iTunes/RB. I would prefer that at the beginning you either create a temporary table that matches their expectations of what the table should look like or select the data and insert it into a Mixxx DB temporary table like Traktor/iTunes/RB. That way we can add whole features at once for all of IT/RB/Traktor/Banshee instead of doing IT/RB/Traktor and then duplicating it for Banshee.
