Can't start Banshee 1.9.5 Mac

Created attachment 183220 [details] Screenshot alert+banshee When I start Banshee 1.9.5 on Snow Leopard, an alert "Exeption has been thrown by the target of an invocation" pops up. The program freezes so I can't get details. I've made a screenshot where you can see the alert and banshee in the background. I've got the newest Mono-Framework installed and Banshee 1.8 started without any problems.
Can you expand the details, and copy them here (or attach them)?
Ah, sorry missed the "frozen" part -- can you run from a terminal to get the stack trace/details?
I am seeing the same. Bust just to clear any misconception - you *do not* need to install Mono before installing Banshee. Banshee has all of its dependencies, including Mono, built into Banshee.app. Please open a terminal and run this, then paste the output: (cd /Applications/Banshee.app; Contents/MacOS/Banshee --debug) I am in charge of the OS X build, but won't be able to dig into this until probably this coming weekend.

I am having this exact issue (same stack trace as shown above in Comment 5) with the beta 1.9.5 download. Running a fresh install of 10.6.6 on a 2011 13" MacBook Pro.
Created attachment 184490 [details] Version 1.9.6 Cairo error at startup on Mac OS 10.6.7 Cairo error also encountered in beta 1.9.6 on Mac OS X 10.6.7 Darwin Kernel Version 10.7.0: Sat Jan 29 15:16:10 PST 2011; root:xnu-1504.9.37~1/RELEASE_X86_64 x86_64 Attached the log from start up with the Cairo GTK stack trace.
If this bug won't be fixed, can you please release the working 1.8 version again. My banshee isn't working for over a month now.
Older releases are always still available, we don't delete them or anything: http://download.banshee.fm/banshee/stable/1.8.0/
Please grab the latest alpha build from here and see if this issue is fixed: https://live.gnome.org/SummerOfCode2012/Projects/TimoDoerr_Banshee_MacOSX#Get_latest_pre-build_alpha_.app-Bundle_for_Mac
