MIDI support in Songbird?
Hi, I'd like to know if there is an addon for Songbird that can play MIDI files already, or if one is being developed? I hate having to use WMP whenever I want to play a .mid file.
I’m anxious

Inappropriate?It doesn't play MIDI files on Windows?
What platform are you running on and what Songbird version do you use?
I can only see reopened bug for MIDI files playback on Mac and Linux.
Looks like GStreamer plugin to play midi on Windows is missing.
There is wildmidi plugin that should be in GSreamer 0.10-plugins-bad.
I'm going to have to check on that to find out what exactly is missing. -
Inappropriate?I confirm this... I can't play any midi files

Inappropriate?Build ID: "Version: Songbird 1.0.0, Build 860 (20081124135419)"
Trying to play a .mid file triggers an alert saying "Media core error: Could not determine type of stream."
Perhaps I should try the unstable trunk build? Unfortunately I've noticed that the trunk crashes fairly often on my PC.
At least now I know that this is a bug, not a lacking feature. Thanks!
I’m thankful

Inappropriate?I confirm, running "Version: Songbird 1.0.0, Build 860 (20081124135419)" on Win XP, I get the same error.
I’m frustrated

Inappropriate?I've been using version 1.1.1 for a while now - "Songbird 1.1.1, Build 1018 (20090309144748)", but midi files are still unplayable. Any update on this?
I’m disappointed
