Comment 12 for bug 1099218

I am also having these difficulties. The Streamrecorder extension kept freezing/crashing Banshee immediately after startup. The workaround given in #6 will help you disable problematic plugins. Edit ~/.config/banshee-1/addin-db-001/config.xml in a text editor, and set every "enabled" attribute to "false". Try re-enabling plugins until it crashes.

This bug should probably affect the banshee-extension-streamrecorder package, but there may be other affected extensions.
