Banshee keeps crashing

Asked by Daniel Malz

As my Banshee player in Ubuntu 11.10 keeps crashing after playing for a short time, I decided to run it in terminal. That is the error message. I hope you can help me :)

Thanks a lot in advance. It works until "Unhandled exeption", the start of the last paragraph.

Update: This happens when I open Banshee by clicking on a file.

However, if I open it first and try to play something it does not work at all and says:
[Error 15:06:57.450] GStreamer resource error: NotFound

Hi Daniel Malz,

I think the problem is on your banshee profile. Try to rename it.
$ mv ~/.config/banshee-1 ~/.config/banshee.default

Then try to run banshee again. Hopefully that will solve your problem...

Thanks a lot for your answer, unfortunately this does not work. I tried to delete my profile before. After I re-imported everything (which took a very long time, I would want to avoid that) it worked again for a short while. I think the problem lies in the fact that the music files are not in my Linux system, but in the parallel Windows system. If I reboot Linux he first has to remount the partition and banshee seems to be unable to find the music again. Or has any other problem with it. Is this possible?
What is more, exactly the same thing happens to Shotwell, I guess for the same reason. Is this a know bug? Is there any workaround without copying all the files (I have too few storage & I currently have to keep Windows)?
Thanks a lot in advance,
Best wishes

Hmm... this is weird.
Perhaps, when you imported files (music) from windows partition there was a file which is not music file type. For example, Thumbs.db
I used to use Rhythmbox as my music player. When I imported file from specify folder/directory which is there was Thumbs.db file on it, my Rhytmbox gave me an error code. Perhaps, your problems like that. Try to import from specify folder/directory without Thumbs.db
I'm really sorry if my English is bad....

I was experiencing similar issues. I used ubuntu tweak's janitor function and cleaned my package configs and unneeded packages. No problems since

Can you help with this problem?
