74141,

I will have to update the backend in order for it to work with the new features of Banshee, etc. I hope I will be able to do that in the near future. As for now you can install gstreamer packages from the pacman repository in order to get video and audio playback of the proprietary file formats.

Cheers,
Ivan.

Hello Ivan..

I am using your Xine Backend since openSUSE 10.2 till now, and as you know the first version of Banshee well be release soon. so I have two questions..

Are this Xine Backend well works with a new version of Banshee?

And is there any chance to make it official in Banshee project? or make it as an RPM Package (example: banshee-engine-xine)? Because I guess You have yours repository at openSUSE repositories :)

Thank you for your hard work

S.X, what you pasted is not an error, but a suggestion by the Banshee developers for plugin developers. People tested the plugin against 0.11, 0.12, 0.13 and it works fine. What is your exact problem? If you can't play mp3 files then your distribution probably ships libxine compiled without mp3 support.

This assembly does not include any Banshee.Plugins.Plugin types

loss and performance issues.

it looks great till now

but when i add any ra , rm and ram

it gives me the messege :

in bash : Setting IO Backend to Banshee.IO.Unix.IOConfig (unix)

in GUI of Banshee : A null was found where an opject instance was required.

and it puts the file in " Import Errors " in Banshee

my version of Banshee is 0.11.2.30

Hey,

I've updated the xine bindings once more. Initially it restricted playing only to "mp3", "ogg", "wma", "asf", "flac". Now I have updated the list to: "mp3", "ogg", "wma", "asf", "flac", "rm", "ac3", "snd", "au", "ram", "ra", "wav", "mpv", "mp2", "mpv2", "mp4", "aif", "aiff".

Please get the newest version again :). Hope it works for you now. Thanks for your feedback.

Ivan N. Zlatev — Thu, 07 Dec 2006 18:42:15 -0000

Hey,

Sorry for the problems. I've just updated the engine to fix the problem. Please delete the old one and get the new one. Also change "engine-name" to xine-engine in the gconftool-2 line.

Hey,

If you want to compile from source and you are on SUSE Linux you will have to install the banshee-devel package. I forgot to add that to the tutorial and now it's there.

Thanks. Hope it works well for you!

P.S don't forget to enable it via gconftool set /apps/Banshee/PlayerEngine type=string xine-engine

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables BANSHEE_CFLAGS
and BANSHEE_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

so , What can i do please ?

My Distro is openSUSE 10.2 GM

thank you
