Comment 1 Jonathan Matthew 2011-03-26 03:17:45 UTC

This happens because we're mixing static gio bindings (used in various plugins) with gio introspection (required by GdkPixbuf, used in the cover art plugin).  I'm working on making plugins use gio through introspection, but it'll take a while.

Comment 2 Jonathan Matthew 2011-03-26 03:50:02 UTC

Actually, I can probably get cover art working with some hackery, lyrics should be fine (but there's the small problem of a complete lack of working lyrics sites).  Things like magnatune and jamendo will remain broken for a while longer.

Comment 3 Jonathan Matthew 2011-03-29 12:09:29 UTC

fixed in commit b2b9081, except for magnatune and jamendo.

Comment 4 Jonathan Matthew 2011-03-29 21:26:17 UTC

oops, not quite fixed yet - gdk-pixbuf needs some annotation fixes too.
