Banshee 2.1 is crashing trying to play video songs on Oneiric

[Swarnendu Biswas]

Binary package hint: banshee

I have recently upgraded my natty installation to oneiric. I was using Banshee 2.0.1 on natty and it worked properly for both audio and video songs. The current version of Banshee in oneiric is 2.1. However, since the upgrade Banshee is crashing every time I am trying to open a video song. However, it is still working with audio songs.

Please could you run in a terminal "banshee --debug" and attach all the output information in a separated file?

Sure. I ran Banshee and then tried to play a video file. It crashed as is currently happening. Then, I ran the command in the terminal and gathered the logs. While the 'banshee --debug' command was executing, an exception was thrown. I have attached the picture, and am reproducing the logs below.
