[Banshee-List] Android - format not supported and no converter found

[visual1ce <visual1ce genericpersona com>]

Hi,

Connecting a Samsung Galaxy S2 with Gingerbread 2.3.6 to oneiric and 
banshee 2.2.1. I can transfer audio files and mp4 video files to the 
device without a problem but I can't transfer wmv files, avi files or 
mpg files. I get the error: Device does not support these formats and no 
converter found. But my device does support these formats. I also cannot 
transfer .mov files - my device does not support hardware decoding of 
this format but I was hoping Banshee would transcode on the fly like it 
transcodes wav to ogg on the fly.

I've tried adding my own is_audio_player file to the device, and I've 
tried editing the appropriate .mpi file in /usr/share/media-player-info/ 
without success... I've tried using miro to transfer the files after 
recompiling ffmpeg (as described at 
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=786095) and it does so but it 
seems quite inflexible in that it converts all files to a single format 
for audio and another for video. The interface is also not very nice and 
banshee has better features.

Has anybody found a solution to this problem or is it a bug? Is it 
possible to tell banshee to use ffmpeg?

Regards,
