GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 628165
Banshee won't play any files on remote pulse sink
Last modified: 2020-03-17 08:47:19 UTC
Overview: I'm running an Ubuntu x64 setup with a Windows 7 system as my PA sink. I try to play any file in Banshee and it fails (** (Banshee:31417): CRITICAL **: bp_get_volume: assertion `GST_IS_ELEMENT (player->playbin)' failed) before moving onto another song and repeating. VLC plays any of the same files fine. Listen plays any of the same files fine. The latest Ubuntu repository version of RhythmBox also has issues, which is why I've been trying out a laundry list of other media players. One of the files I tried to play actually played the first quarter-second or so before it gave an error and went onto the next (unplayable) song in the list, so it wouldn't seem to be an error that's actually fatal, but Banshee stops playing the song as though it is. Steps to reproduce: Set up a Windows PulseAudio server system using the PA binaries (this is an old version of Pulse). Connect to it as the Pulse server for the Linux system. Try to play a file in Banshee. Actual results: Failed to play file and skipped onto the next one. Repeat. -------------------------------------------------------------------- svtdragon@ultra:~$ banshee --debug ** Running Mono with --debug ** [1 Info 18:53:23.353] Running Banshee 1.7.4: [Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS (linux-gnu, x86_64) @ 2010-08-13 19:21:10 UTC] [1 Debug 18:53:23.393] Initializing GTK [1 Debug 18:53:24.980] Post-Initializing GTK [1 Debug 18:53:25.013] Configuration client extension loaded (Banshee.GnomeBackend.GConfConfigurationClient) [1 Debug 18:53:25.033] Using default gconf-base-key [1 Debug 18:53:25.119] Bus.Session.RequestName ('org.bansheeproject.Banshee') replied with PrimaryOwner [1 Debug 18:53:25.212] Core service started (DBusServiceManager, 0.002359) [1 Debug 18:53:25.215] Registering remote object /org/bansheeproject/Banshee/DBusCommandService (Banshee.ServiceStack.DBusCommandService) on org.bansheeproject.Banshee [1 Debug 18:53:25.231] Core service started (DBusCommandService, 0.018478) [1 Debug 18:53:25.365] Opened SQLite (version 3.6.22) connection to /home/svtdragon/.config/banshee-1/banshee.db [1 Debug 18:53:25.366] Core service started (DbConnection, 0.134774) [1 Debug 18:53:25.376] Database version 42 is up to date [1 Debug 18:53:25.442] Core service started (PreferenceService, 0.027583) [1 Debug 18:53:25.444] Registering remote object /org/bansheeproject/Banshee/SourceManager (Banshee.Sources.SourceManager) on org.bansheeproject.Banshee [1 Debug 18:53:25.444] Core service started (SourceManager, 0.002072) [1 Debug 18:53:25.459] Core service started (MediaProfileManager, 0.000394) [1 Debug 18:53:25.464] Registering remote object /org/bansheeproject/Banshee/PlayerEngine (Banshee.MediaEngine.PlayerEngineService) on org.bansheeproject.Banshee [1 Debug 18:53:25.465] Core service started (PlayerEngine, 0.006454) [1 Debug 18:53:25.497] Registering remote object /org/bansheeproject/Banshee/PlaybackController (Banshee.PlaybackController.PlaybackControllerService) on org.bansheeproject.Banshee [1 Debug 18:53:25.498] Core service started (PlaybackController, 0.003881) [1 Debug 18:53:25.511] Starting -

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.
