Last modified: 2008-10-26 18:07:44 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: [Warn 21:58:03.991] Caught an exception - Object reference not set to an instance of an object (in `Banshee.Services') at Banshee.MediaEngine.PlayerEngineService.FindSupportingEngine (Banshee.Base.SafeUri uri) [0x00036] in /build/buildd/banshee-1.3.3/src/Core/Banshee.Services/Banshee.MediaEngine/PlayerEngineService.cs:337 at Banshee.MediaEngine.PlayerEngineService.OpenCheck (System.Object o) [0x0006b] in /build/buildd/banshee-1.3.3/src/Core/Banshee.Services/Banshee.MediaEngine/PlayerEngineService.cs:306 at Banshee.MediaEngine.PlayerEngineService.OpenPlay (Banshee.Collection.TrackInfo track, Boolean play) [0x0001e] in /build/buildd/banshee-1.3.3/src/Core/Banshee.Services/Banshee.MediaEngine/PlayerEngineService.cs:275 [Error 21:58:03.993] Problem with Player Engine - Object reference not set to an instance of an object [Debug 21:58:03.998] (libbanshee:player) bp_stop: setting state to GST_STATE_NULL It should also be noted that Banshee is throwing a lot of exceptions from many different components as well.
