Trying to use radio gives a non fatal exception in banshee (depends on libtotem-plparser.so.1)

[Pontus Freyhult]

Binary package hint: banshee

When I try to use Banshees radio feature to listen to mms://sr-wm.qbrick.com/02038_SR-P1-High, nothing happens in banshee. On the console I get

Unhandled Exception: System.TypeInitializationException: An exception was thrown
 by the type initializer for TotemPlParser.Parser ---> System.DllNotFoundException: totem-plparser.so.1

Banshee explicitly tries to load totem-plparser.so.1 (which will lead to mono trying to load libtotem-plparser.so.1) in src/Plugins/Banshee.Plugins.Radio/totem-plparser/Parser.cs, but it's not provided by the package containing libtotem-plparser.so

If I do

ln -s /usr/lib/libtotem-plparser.so /usr/lib/libtotem-plparser.so.1

everything works fine.

libtotem-plparser7 provides /usr/lib/libtotem-plparser.so with friends, but no /usr/lib/libtotem-plparser.so.1.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Which version of Ubuntu and Banshee are you using?, thanks

[Pontus Freyhult (pontusf)]

Sorry. This is in gutsy. Problem exists at least in Banshee 0.12.1+dfsg-5 (package from distribution) and when built from subversion.

[Pedro Villavicencio (pedro)]

It works fine here with gutsy too and banshee 0.12.1+dfsg-5, probably there was something broken with your installation, is this a fresh gutsy or a upgrade?

[Pontus Freyhult (pontusf)]

Fresh install. You can play the stream and here sounds? Do you have a libtotem-plparser.so.1? (seems to exist when I check a feisty installation).

I'm not sure how different engines correlate to this.

[Pedro Villavicencio (pedro)]

Yes i can hear the stream, the library i have installed is libtotem-plparser7, lets see if someone else can reproduce this behavior, thanks again.

[Basilio Kublik (sourcercito)]

i can hear without any problem, running banshee with debug flag show nothing weird, this is a fresh install of gusty from tribe 4 cd, with all updates till date.

libtotem-plparser7 2.19.6-0ubuntu1
banshee 0.12.1+dfsg-5

[Basilio Kublik (sourcercito)]

actually i must eat my words, just reproduce the bug:

Just as you said Pontus, adding a symlink from /usr/lib/libtotem-plparser.so to /usr/lib/libtotem-plparser.so.1 solves the problem

[Basilio Kublik (sourcercito)]

again i forgot to say, opening the uri mms://sr-wm.qbrick.com/02038_SR-P1-High with "Open Location" feature work just fine, but if you add the uri as a radio station and then try to listen from there, you can reproduce the bug.

[Sebastian Dröge (slomo)]

That's simply because banshee wants totem-plparser from Gnome 2.18 or below. In 2.19/2.20 it changed API/ABI and banshee was not yet updated, I'm surprised that symlinking totem-plparser.so.7 to .1 works without problems when actually using it.

[Sebastian Dröge (slomo)]

This will be solved after syncing banshee 0.13.1... see bug #132427
