Re: [Banshee-List] Crash when playing back any video

Have installed Banshee on Ubuntu Karmic and it plays back all audio files and
even downloads all my podcasts. But what it does not do at all is playing
any video. All other video players work fine, like SMPlayer or VLC.
When I click on a video in Banshee to play it, I get a black screen with a
movie icon and the title and it crashes either as soon as move the mouse or
after about four seconds, whatever comes first.
I started banshee in a console window in the hope to get some type of
message.
This is what I got:
------------------------------------
ingo ingo-laptop:~$ banshee

Any ideas?

I've been looking for confirmation for this one for a while.

Now I know it's not just the Mono implementations in Fedora and Foresight (both are a bit unloved and non-standard whereas Ubuntu/Debian has a kickass Mono team).

Thank you.
