Banshee crashes in Ubuntu 16.x

[Wes]

I can't use Banshee at all in Ubuntu 16.x. it won't scan the library, playlists or do anything. Just crashes. I have hours into building a music library using Banshee. Tried other media programs and they are confusing, non-intuitive and half of the titles and album names are blank. Maybe I have to go back to Ubuntu 14. Any plans in the immediate future to fix this?

I'm on Arch Linux and have solved this by downgrading Mono to version 4.6.1. The current version appears to be 5.0.0.
I do not know why Banshee has not yet been ported to the newer mono nor do i know why Ubuntu would upgrade it knowing it would break this software. Is the Banshee project dead or something?
Anyways downgrade Mono and it will run again.

Yes, it is basically dead and in need of resurrection by new developers
and technically-minded users.

Hey folks, out of interest is there a stack trace when it crashes on mono > 4.6?

I'd be interested to see it, I run Gentoo so I installed mono 5.0.1.1 and was able to run my copy okay and play a few tracks - admittedly it's heavily modified so the feature causing the problem might not be enabled or built on my install.

What features do you have installed/disabled?

Hi again,

I did a bit of investigating and found this crash seems to be caused
by Mono.Zeroconf using an internal implementation of NDesk.DBus (the
pre-cursor to dbus-sharp) so I started a branch to switch the library
to use dbus-sharp instead. [1]

Cheers.
