Andrew,

Sorry for taking so long to reply. Entertainer is currently using an older version of pycluttergst. The problem that you've run into is an API change that occurred in the library that we haven't updated to yet. I run Ubuntu and won't have a chance to update dependencies until after I upgrade to Lucid (which I can't currently do because I need a stable work environment for graduate school code assignments). Once I have the opportunity to upgrade, I intend to do some packaging work to get Entertainer's dependencies ready for the new Ubuntu release. This will probably mean making some code changes like the one you discovered to catch up to libraries that have changed that Entertainer depends on. It might be a month or so before I really have a good opportunity to do that.

-Matt

Hi,

I had this problem too, while trying to get entertainer working on ubuntu lucid with the new versions of clutter. In the end, it did work (at least the small parts I tested) with clutter-1.2.4, clutter-gst-1.0.0 and pyclutter-1.0.0 (remaining packages from lucid). I needed to replace the get_playbin on line 73 by get_pipeline. This was renamed in clutter-gst 1.0.0. Maybe this helps.

Regards,
Reiner

Reiner, thanks for the input.

Just a follow up note. I've now made a commit to trunk so that Entertainer will work with the cluttergst 1.0 API.
