[Banshee-List] Banshee on openSUSE Leap 42.1 not working

[Klaus Zeitler <info klauszeitler de>]

Hello,
just installed openSUSE Leap 42.1 this week. Most things went smoothly,
but it seems banshee is no longer (or not yet) in the official repos.
At least I couldn't find it. So I went to
https://software.opensuse.org/package/banshee
and tried (via 1 click install) the 2 'unstable' packets (version 2.6.2):
    home:IBBoard:desktop
    home:badshah400:branches...
Unfortunately neither of them work for me (same error). I'm pretty sure
that there's a gstreamer problem:

--- snip ---

Apart from the official repositories I also use the packman repository.
When I run 'zypper pa | grep -i gstream" I get approx. 270 lines and
I see that the gstreamer packages are now installed from various
different repos, i.e.
 openSUSE-Leap-42.1-Oss
 openSUSE-42.1-0
 home:badshah400:branches:GNOME:Apps
 home:IBBoard:desktop
 Packman Repository

As usual I'm lost with gstreamer. Every time I install a new openSUSE
version, I'm fighting with gstreamer package selection.
I never know which ones I really need (and from which repo).
So I'm adding and removing/replacing the gstreamer packets till
everything seems to work. But this time it didn't work for banshee.
Just spent the whole day yesterday to no avail.
Maybe I should reinstall all this gstreamer stuff, but from where.

I appreciate any help.

Klaus
