FC13 Banshee wont play CDs

DaFoot · #1 2nd July 2010, 05:02 PM

Post upgrade from 12-13 my Banshee installation is refusing to play CDs. In fact it doesn't even recognise there is one in the drive.

The icon appears on the desktop ok when I put on in and I get asked what I want to use to open it so it seems the system itself recognises a CD but for some reason Banshee doesn't.

I got an error about Banshee needing CD Audio Plugin, which I told Banshee to try and find but it failed. No idea where to go from here.

Worked it back to gstreamer-plugins-bad / ugly packages were wanted. So removed with yum then allowed banshee to try finding them.

It got as far as asking for root auth which I gave it, it them fell over in a heap.

Now it seems banhsee is no longer on my system and has some dependency issues....

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

Are these known issues in repos (has a similar issue couple of days back that turned out to be widespread rather than just me) or something wrong with my machine?

I'm experiencing this at the moment with F13.

Wanted to use Banshee to rip a CD but it wasn't detected by Banshee. Soundjuicer will rip the files but I want Banshee to do it, as the rip settings are better.

I made sure to install all the gstreamer-plugins-good/bad/ugly etc.

I've got the gstreamer plugins installed.
If I launch from CLI I get some feedback on launching...but don't think they are related to CD stuff.

I have sort of sorted my issue. Seems I missing gstreamer-bad. I ran the install of the good/bad/ugly again and found that the bad was missing even though the others were installed.

I can now rip mp3s. Woop woop

Though it's still not quite right. When I insert a CD I have to restart Banshee if it was open when inserting CD for it to detect the CD. Strange.

It seems to have reverted to not recognising CDs again. Tried removing all of gstreamer-plugins-good|bad|ugly and banshee itself then reinstalling but no good. Still Banshee refuses to acknowledge I have an audio CD in the drive.

Firing up Banshee from CLI as root gives me some output that might provide some clues...

Seems some sort of issue with dbus (something that my reading around the web has implied). I figured a restart of dbus might be worth a try. Looking in /etc/init.d I can;t see any ref to dbus service. Problem?

For future reference should anyone else get this problem....

Tried restarting messagebus and haldaemon as per thread above.
As root:
in /etc/init.d/
./messagebus restart
./haldaemon restart

The messagebus restart caused me to be logged out and all applications closed.

I can now see the CD in Banshee. Woop woop.

Thank you, this fixed it for me too!
