Description Sebastian Dröge (slomo) 2008-06-13 09:50:43 UTC 
Hi,
currently one can't import Matroska files (www.matroska.org) because taglib-sharp doesn't support them. This should be fixed as many videos are available as Matroska files and some audio files too.

Spec can be found on matroska.org.
Comment 1 Andrew Conkling 2008-06-13 11:47:15 UTC 
Does GStreamer support Matroska files? Banshee supports everything GStreamer does. To test, you could try to play a file in Totem, for example.
Comment 2 Sebastian Dröge (slomo) 2008-06-13 12:02:36 UTC 
Yes GStreamer supports it but banshee doesn't see the metadata of the files because of taglib-sharp.
Comment 3 Sebastian Dröge (slomo) 2008-06-13 12:06:13 UTC 
Oh, and banshee can't import Matroska files at all... it gives an import error:

[Error 14:03:24.797] /home/slomo/test.mkv - /home/slomo/test.mkv (taglib/mkv)


Renaming to .mka doesn't even give an import error but nothing happens.
