Songbird 1.1.2 fails to load gstreamer plugins in Jaunty
I have had a few issues regarding songbird recognizing and playing wma files from my music collection. When importing my library mp3 files are recognized and play fine, but wma files contain missing tag information and album art. In Intrepid wma files would still play, but after my upgrade to Jaunty I get an media core error when a wma file is selected to play. I have loaded all gstreamer-plugins-0.10 in the repos and have verified that wma files will display tag info and play correctly in rhythmbox and movie player.

Inappropriate?Hi Nick.
Songbird doesn't include WMA support on linux - we can't include it due to legal issues. However, if you have system gstreamer plugins to support WMA, it'll use those, and WMA playback will work - that's why it worked for you in intrepid.
Unfortunately, now that you've updated, you've got gstreamer plugins that are too new for the version of gstreamer that songbird uses - so songbird fails to load them with the errors you gave there. We're updating to a newer gstreamer in the next release of songbird (1.2), so hopefully that'll help you. In the mean time, there's not really anything simple for you to do.

Inappropriate?Thanks for the clear response. I just downloaded the latest nightly build Songbird_1.2.0a-1060 and it started up error free. The wma files play fine, but they still are missing tag info (ex. track #, time) and album art. If this is my biggest problem, I think I can live with that. Keep up the good work.
Thanks,
Nick

Inappropriate?Ugh, so how long until Songbird 1.2 is released?
