Steps to reproduce: 1. it happens every time i try it 2. 3. Stack trace: Other information: this sucks, i want banshee on my mac
Please see http://banshee-project.org/contribute/file-bugs/ on how to provide additional information. The log showing the stacktrace of the crash would be helpful. Setting OS to Mac, according to you report.
Even though the bug report is really poor and not written the right way to be useful, what it says it's correct and it happens to me too. Here is a more detailed explanation of the problem. Banshee version: 1.4.3 Mono version: 2.4 Steps to reproduce: 1. Open banshee 2. click on the "Now playing" tab on the top left of the window The program here crashes miserably and "disappears", as the OP reported. I'd really love to give you a stack trace or log file, but I cannot figure out how to start the program from the command line (calling /Applications/Banshee.app/Contents/MacOS/banshee doesn't work at all), and the method described on the link you provided doesn't work on MacOS X either. Also, if I carefully avoid clicking on "Now playing", there is no way to get any music playing by selecting a song and hitting play ... this may be correlated, or a totally different bug. I'm going to try with mono 2.2.
Yep, reverting back to Mono 2.2 works perfectly, no crashes, and music actually plays.

Changing status to NEW, as some info has been provided, and confirmed by a duplicate.
From Bug 589620, Now Playing also seems to cause a crash Banshee on Windows. The explanation for that bug (taken from Bug 589620, Comment 1): > After getting the Banshee.NowPlaying.X11.dll backend to load, the crash no > longer occurs. From this I guess that the bug is only caused by > Banshee.NowPlaying not having any backend available, and is probably not > limited to Windows. This suggests that that issue isn't Windows-specific, so perhaps the issue in that bug and this issue on OS X are related... ?
still no fix for this problem? I really like Banshee, but it's sad to have this bugs. This one and the drag action :(
I'm still experiencing this as well. (OSX 10.6, Mono 2.6.7)
I encountered this for a short while in December 2010 on Ubuntu in the 1.9.x series, since maybe about 1.9.2/3-ish I have not encountered this bug on Windows or Linux (I never encountered it on windows coz at the time I couldn't build).

Can you try running banshee on a terminal w/ "XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1 banshee" (or however you launch it on OS X -- but include that XLIB_.. bit). Could be related to bug #641515.
Sorry, I have no clue about XLIB…, but isn't that for X11, which banshee doesn't use in OS X? But I'll attach additional stacktrace info.

X apps use a nested X server on Mac OS X.
I can confirm that this is still occurring in Banshee version 2.2.1 on OSX 10.6.8 Unfortunately I cannot find a log file in ~/.config/banshee-1 to submit icrack:~ tim$ ls -la ~/.config/banshee-1/ total 528 drwxr-xr-x 6 tim staff 204 1 Feb 15:30 . drwx------ 5 tim staff 170 1 Feb 14:57 .. drwxr-xr-x 9 tim staff 306 1 Feb 14:57 addin-db-001 -rw-r--r-- 1 tim staff 26 1 Feb 14:57 app-bundle-location -rw-r--r-- 1 tim staff 238592 1 Feb 15:31 banshee.db -rw-r--r-- 1 tim staff 23279 1 Feb 15:30 config.xml
I can confirm that this method did not bypass the crash (at-least for me). I ran it as "XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1 Banshee.app/Contents/MacOS/Banshee" and clicking now playing still caused the app to crash. I will attach both the normal error log and terminal output from the XLIB run. This is on OSX 10.6.8 and running the latest available binary: Banshee 2.2.1. Note: I can't test any newer version because bockbuild is currently failing.

I cannot reproduce this using our latest alpha builds for OS X. This problem has been fixed in the development version. The fix will be available in the next major software release. Thank you for your bug report.

Also please note that currently only audio is supported on OS X.
