if you can reproduce this then can you please try doing:

yum install yum-utils
debuginfo-install banshee

and then reproducing the crash with banshee --debug set

this will give us a more complete crash log.

Crash log with debugging symbols

Here's a new crash log. Produced by,
$ banshee-1 --debug &> h
I believe banshee crashed after the second or third song this time.

Comment 3 Ben Gamari 2008-10-29 15:38:58 UTC
Concerning the musical selection: don't judge, it's not mine. ;)

Comment 4 David Nielsen 2008-10-31 22:38:28 UTC
This sounds like:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=468616

Upstream has a patch for this which they have requested distributors ship in their packages. Once 469450 is closed this should be fixed. Thank you for your patience.

Banshee 1.4.0.1-1 debug info

Comment 6 Peeter Puusemp 2008-11-11 08:43:53 UTC
I installed banshee-1.4.0.1-1.fc10.i386 from Koji and Banshee still crashes randomly. Yesterday evening it didn't, but today morning it does. Yesterday I played more mp3 files, but today morning more FLAC files. It seems to crash after tracks in FLAC, but I cannot confirm it yet. Not after every track in FLAC, but after some of them.

I attached the debug info with the previous message.

Comment 7 Peeter Puusemp 2008-11-11 08:54:39 UTC
I forgot to mention that I also installed podsleuth-0.6.3-1.fc10 and taglib-sharp-2.0.3.0-7.fc10 from Koji.

P.S. In Fedora 9 Banshee 1.2.1 worked with no problems. It started to happen when I did a fresh install of Fedora 10 Preview. Since I have played already quite some mp3 files now without a crash then it seems that Banshee 1.4.0 with those patches narrowed the problem to FLAC files.

Comment 8 Ben Gamari 2008-11-11 18:53:42 UTC
Yeah, I've seen no improvement in the new package. It still crashes after a song or two.

Comment 9 David Nielsen 2008-11-11 19:22:11 UTC
I've punted this to upstream as their proposed fix did not appear to work. You should both be on CC for the bug there.

Comment 10 David Nielsen 2008-11-11 21:19:27 UTC
Reassigning to gstreamer as that is the cause

Downstream has a patch for this here:

Comment 11 Tom "spot" Callaway 2008-11-11 22:26:46 UTC
I'm doing an F10 scratch build of a gstreamer with the patch referenced in 555631. I'd like some feedback as to whether this actually resolves the issue or not (I haven't really been able to reproduce these crashes):

These new gstreamer packages seem to fix the problem.

Thank you all for the work on fixing this problem!

Comment 13 Ben Gamari 2008-11-12 16:53:09 UTC
Yeah, I also haven't experienced any crashes since upgrading the gstreamer packages.

Comment 14 Tom "spot" Callaway 2008-11-12 18:11:04 UTC
gstreamer-0.10.21-2.fc10 tagged into f10-final, closing this out.
