iTunes 6.0.4 plays well with mt-daapd
Banshee will list the songs, even get the meta data, but when I play, it just skippes to the next song and so on and so on.The log looks clean though:
2006-08-18 16:31:04 (00328005): Session 1: Streaming file ’07 I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do.mp3′ to 192.168.0.12 (offset 0)
2006-08-18 16:31:04 (0032c004): Session 1: Streaming file ’11 So Long.mp3′ to 192.168.0.12 (offset 0)
2006-08-18 16:31:04 (00330004): Session 1: Streaming file ’10 I ve Been Waiting For You.mp3′ to 192.168.0.12 (offset 0)Banshee is version 0.10.9 running on openSuse 10.1.

Is this nightlies, or 0.2.x? I find that strange, as I just set up a box using current nightlies and ran banshee against it today.
Do you get more information with a higher log level?

yep, its build 1348
Need a higher log level to see if it’s actually streaming anything to the client.

Ok, forget that … 🙁
I did some research in respect to mp3 playing on OpenSuse 10.1. folks from Novell have provided a closed-source backend engine called Helix (bsaed of RealPlayer), which gets used by Banshee by default.
GStreamer 0.10, which is supposed to handle all of that is not capable of playing MP3 files.
So far so good. However, playing remote http:// or rsp:// streams seems not to be working with helix. I dunno why, maybe a higher trace level will reveal that. So I will provide that for you.
Anyway, I removed all helix* packages and rebuild gstreamer manually. Ola! I can now play thru banshee from mt-daapd nightly 1348.
coolbeans.
Do you want to track down the issue with helix?
Thanks,

Ah, of course. Probably there are gstreamer-mp3 plugins available in rpm format for suse, though.

Helix certainly won’t do rsp://, I’m sure that’s going to just be a roku thing (although I’d like if others supported it, it’s *way* faster than daap).

Not sure how far you’ll get. Seems strange that it won’t work though. It has to be the problem with http:// streaming, but I can’t imagine that doens’t work. It pretty much *has* to.
Strange…
So that is the way SUSE Linux, I meant, Novell SUSE Linux, is heading right now… I wanted just let you know that where I am working (Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.0), MP3 decoding is deactivated by default because of some “legal concerns”. Something like that might be also the reason it doesn´t work on SUSE Linux. So this might be the cause of banshee not working properly.
This has been the case for quite some time.
Mandriva) Mandrake used to do it too, prolly they still do it.But its nothing you cant fix with some post-install scripts 😉
