Description Thomas Pifer 2008-10-26 02:20:28 UTC
Please describe the problem:
After upgrading from 1.3.2 to 1.3.3, playing any music file from within Banshee fails due to an error in the Player Engine, specifically: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. 

Steps to reproduce:
1. Upgrade to Banshee 1.3.3
2. Start Banshee
3. Attempt to play a song from your music collection.


Actual results:
Banshee is unable to play the song and throws an error.

Expected results:
The song plays as expected.

Does this happen every time?
Yes.

Other information:
Attached is the output from 'banshee --debug' with the important parts pasted below:
