[SOLVED] Banshee Unable to Play Music or Video

TheKnerd · 2014-02-17 09:38:59

Has anybody else had the issue with Banshee media player not being able to play music or video?

I have already been to the wiki and installed all the codex that were in the standard repository.

I am using GStreamer on the backend.

You sure you have the right codecs? you need the gstreamer0.10* versions

There are also gstreamer0.10-ugly-plugins.

We need more info.
Can you play some media types but not others? Are the files DRM-protected?

I recently install the gstreamer0.10-ugly-plugins and there has been no change.

Some media types work some of the time, like mp4 video will work about 25% of the time. mp3 music will not play at all.

There shouldn't be any drm on the files as i have backed them up from my CDs or downloaded them from the 'net.

Strangely enough, just did a restart and it seems to be working. All file types are playing just fine.
