http://radioverve.com/ would be cool, too They offer normal playlist based streams though... so perhaps they could just be added to the default stations list, if/when the inet radio plugin returns.
(Paste from my msg to the banshee mailing list added as per replies there): An interesting and I think stand out feature for Banshee (2.0?) would be the ability for users to save/export images from online services into the video player portion of banshee. Senario: - user drags URL link from youtube/vimeo/flickr video/etc or some other online video service onto the library portion of banshee - banshee recognizes the link and extracts the video for playing locally, either by creating a window around the video or actually extracting it and saving it locally - video is now in the banshee video library and playable / sortable / taggable / etc just like any other video in there - when attaching a device with video capabilities (ie: ipod, zune, etc) the video playlists including those from youtube/etc are available for syncing to the devices - videos are transcoded on the fly to a compatible format when synced to the ipod/etc just as music is. That's the idea anyway, making it as seamless as possible for the user to allow them to simply drag a video or link into banshee and have it available just like any other video would be the goal. Perhaps the interface would end up with a video-podcast like interface with a "Web Video" channel or something?
Arcterex: Are you sure all of the sites allow you to download and store the videos locally? We certainly don't want to get someone's account terminated due to Terms of Service breach.

Arcterex, loved the idea - although I would rather want a link to the video (let's say, an youtube video) to stream it when I want to see it, not storing it locally - just like bookmarks. Then if I wanted to sync then, they would be downloaded and converted =) and: "banshee recognizes the link and extracts the video for playing locally, either by creating a window around the video (...)" Or even when playing from stream, do it on "now playing" section =)
@Peterson Silva I was thinking more of the portable player aspect of it all. Granted these days you can do this over the air with iphone/android/etc, but my thought was for easy ways of taking video on the road for portable players that don't allow it natively. Regarding Patryk's thoughts about the account, I'm not sure about the TOS, but there are tools to allow you to do this already (ie: TubeTV on the mac) on the desktop (you give it a youtube URL and it grabs it and converts it to mp4 in your itunes library as a movie, to sync it to your ipod under the videos section. Basically my same idea (found this app after I suggested this bug here) but more integrated into the player (ie: without having to run a separate helper app).
Surely it's silly making one big list like this - shouldn't each idea be a separate bug report? That way they can be tracked individually, seems more useful to me.
Duncan, this is kind of a holding cell for these ideas, to avoid cluttering our bug tracker with needless copies of basically the same request, until somebody actually starts undertaking one of them. With that in mind, I have filed bug #597746 for archive.org support, since I started working on that.
Ok, just to keep this updated, we now have support for: Internet Archive (archive.org) MiroGuide AmazonMP3 Magnatune (limited support; in Banshee Community Extensions) YouTube Wikipedia

Jamendo support is now available in Banshee Community Extensions. The extensions is in git master : http://gitorious.org/banshee-community-extensions/banshee-community-extensions/trees/master/src/Jamendo It is similar to the Amazon store : embedded web browser, and seamless integration for downloads and streaming.
I would ask for support for Libre.fm which works as a free/libre replacement for both Last.fm and Jamendo. It takes songs to stream and download from Jamendo (but in OGG Vorbis format, and only when they qualify as copyleft), and also allows to scrobble any kind of music.
Banshee is not under active development anymore and had its last code changes more than three years ago. Its codebase has been archived. Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping to reflect reality. Please feel free to reopen this ticket (or rather transfer the project to GNOME Gitlab, as GNOME Bugzilla is being shut down) if anyone takes the responsibility for active development again. See https://gitlab.gnome.org/Infrastructure/Infrastructure/issues/264 for more info.
