GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 613790
playbin2 fails to play ogg file playbin handles fine
Last modified: 2010-09-02 13:28:51 UTC
banshee 1.5.6 does not play audio media. When I try to play a song it shows in "now playing" but with no audio. Not even seeing the stream in PulseAudio. Also, the song scrollbar (time meter) does not move and shows 0:00 of 0:00 although the song properties shows the file to be good/correct and it plays in totem with no problem. Distribution: SLED11 Mono: 2.0.1-1.19.1 Banshee: banshee-1-backend-platform-unix-1.5.6-2.1 banshee-1-extensions-default-1.5.6-2.1 banshee-1-devel-1.5.6-2.1 banshee-1-backend-engine-gstreamer-1.5.6-2.1 banshee-1-novell-aac-0.10.6-1.29 banshee-1-dmp-ipod-1.5.6-2.1 banshee-1-dmp-1.5.6-2.1 banshee-1-client-classic-1.5.6-2.1 banshee-1-core-1.5.6-2.1 banshee-1-backend-platform-gnome-1.5.6-2.1 banshee-1-dmp-mtp-1.5.6-2.1 banshee-1-lang-1.5.6-2.1 banshee-1-1.5.6-2.1
Thanks for taking the time to report this bug. This bug report isn't very useful because it lacks some important information to describe the bug well. If you have time and can still reproduce the bug, please read http://banshee-project.org/contribute/file-bugs/ to know how to attach some logs from Banshee (no need to do the "kill" step).
Created attachment 156970 [details] banshee.log for song with no audio banshee log after starting to play a song without audio stream
Created attachment 156971 [details] output of banshee-1 --debug for song with no audio output from "banshee-1 --debug" when trying to play a song
Thanks. Did you try to play a song when you generated those logs?
yes, I tried to play a song for both attachments. The result is what is described in the original description. No crashes, just no audio, no movement on the song time meter and no audio stream showing in pulseaudio. Thanks.
Thanks. Can you try to use playbin2 alone to play one of the songs that cannot be played in banshee but yes in totem?
sure but where can I get playbin2? Is it part of gstreamer?

If I specify playbin2 it does not play ~> gst-launch-0.10 -v playbin2 uri=file:///tmp/song.ogg But if I specify playbin it does play ~> gst-launch-0.10 -v playbin uri=file:///tmp/song.ogg I have attached the output of both. Thanks.
Moving to GStreamer; not a Banshee issue. What version of GStreamer do you have?
gstreamer-0_10-32bit-0.10.21-3.20 gstreamer-0_10-plugins-base-lang-0.10.21-2.36.1 bluez-gstreamer-4.22-4.23 banshee-1-backend-engine-gstreamer-1.5.6-2.1 gstreamer-0_10-lang-0.10.21-3.20 phonon-backend-gstreamer-0_10-4.2.0-41.29 gstreamer-0_10-plugins-base-0.10.21-2.36.1 gstreamer-0_10-plugins-good-0.10.10-4.9.1 gstreamer-0_10-utils-0.10.21-3.20 gstreamer-0_10-plugins-good-lang-0.10.10-4.9.1 libgstreamer-0_10-0-32bit-0.10.21-3.20 gstreamer-0_10-plugins-farsight-0.12.9-2.35 gstreamer-0_10-devel-0.10.21-3.20 gstreamer-0_10-plugins-base-devel-0.10.21-2.36.1 libgstreamer-0_10-0-0.10.21-3.20 gstreamer-0_10-0.10.21-3.20 python-gstreamer-0_10-0.10.13-1.36 gstreamer-0_10-doc-0.10.21-3.31 gstreamer-0_10-plugins-base-32bit-0.10.21-2.36.1 gstreamer-0_10-schroedinger-1.0.5-2.36 from opensuse
Actually the version of gstreamer is right from SLED11, not opensuse.
opened bug in Novell's SLED11 bugzilla for gstreamer Bug Number: 591104
updated gstreamer and now playbin2 file playback works but banshee still does not play audio files (ogg) and crashes when I try to select to the "Now Playing" sidebar option. In fact this time when I select a song to play it does not even appear like it is trying to play the song. For example pressing the play icon does not change it to a pause icon and little gnome foot icon on the bottom left does not indicate any action. I will post the crash logs. Thanks.
Created attachment 157165 [details] crash log when selecting Now Playing This is the dump from banshee-1 when I select the "Now Playing" sidebar. Also note that hitting play on any song seems to do nothing.
can you make a debug log like this: GST_DEBUG=*decode*:5,*play*:5,*ogg*:5,*vorbis*:5 gst-launch playbin2 uri=file:///... >debug.log 2>&1 The gzip the debug.log file and attach here.
